People that call data 4G.

Like: 

"I have run out of 4G this month"

They're probably wrong, but it's actually possible in a way. Many "Unlimited Data" plans have a limited amount of data at 4G speeds with anything past that downgraded down to 3G speeds. So if you use your phone's data a lot, then yes, you actually can "run out of 4G."

Yeah, completely correct. My Tmobile family plan we get 2.5 Gb of 4G LTE data. After that we are on 2G speeds. I dont run out normally but my sister does, with like a week to spare before the data resets. Shes be trying to push for a higher data plan, but I dont want to increase the amount Im spending. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Well, that is not the case in Norway. Here, when you use up your data, you start to pay a high price per mb.

one time, our ISPs router overheated. :) 

My isp has sketchy backup power, if the power goes out for a couple of seconds it messes up and the internet is down for either 10 minutes or 2 hours. But if the power is out for a couple of minutes it starts working when the power is still off...

of all the subscription plans I have seen or had in Norway, I have just seen 2 different ones, the one that it gets cut completely, and the one I have, where I still have 4G and stuff, it is just a price per mb after you have used up the data, and it gets REALLY expensive if you continue to use data.

Wow... I can only dream of those speeds. I get 25 Megabits per second down and 10Mbps Up. It doesn't help that I'm with the worst ISP in the world "Yak". They're the cheapest but their service is awful. Your internet cant just cut out at a moment's notice and it'll only come back after resetting the router. Not to mention the resetting the router takes like 10 mins...

I get 25MB Max also (through speed test) but steam uses 20MB 

I don't even know what to do with all the speed.
