    WHAT CHOICE!? Data caps are on all plans. What options are there? Lay out what you think the choices are.

      Nonsense. There are lots of plans without caps. Maybe not where you live, but at most that means caps should be banned where you live. IMHO it makes much more sense to require offering a cappless plan, rather than banning capped.

      Edit: Googling for “capless internet usa” gives as the first result https://broadbandnow.com/guides/no-data-caps, listing several providers.

        Do you live outside the US? The way the US works is far less centralized than other countries. Most of this time this kind of stuff is left up to state regulations or even city regulations and contracts. The truth is that capless plans exist, but that is not the reality for large swaths of the US. You’re taking a broad approach to a specific problem. Ending data caps ends at the Federal level ends the problem and does away with the mess of state BS. Anyway, I am done talking to a brick wall. Have a good one

          I’m taking a broad approach? The article is literally about the FCC. You know, the Federal Communications Commission. That applies to the entire country.
