Is this some kind of sick joke? Who the FUCK would want to spend $200 a month just to browse the internet at quick speed only to max out their cap within 6 hours?

Comcast doesn't even enforce my caps for some reason, or call me out on piracy.

Since 105mb/s divided by eight equals 13.125MB, and that 250GB is 256,000MB, that means that you'd have to max out your connection past 19504.7619047619 seconds to reach the cap. Since 19504.7619047619 times 60 is a minute, that means that you'd have to max out your connection for 325.0793650793651 minutes to reach the cap, meaning you'd reach your monthly bandwidth limit within 5.417989417989418 hours.

There is also Charter, AT&T, and Bright House Networks. I currently use AT&T (they don't enforce their caps in this part), but I'm looking to get a higher-speed internet with at LEAST 10mb/s UL so I can set up my own Web site without having to rely upon shitty and/or overpriced Web hosts while retaining full control of my server. Whether or not I can pull through with that is directly dependent on whether or not I have a steady source of income.

That feel when Verizon refuses to provide internet service in Michigan.
