what
By metering, you mean there's a certain amount you can download per month?
yes, usage limits or throttling
Those generally aren't a thing anymore
Unless you're raping it stupid time.
throttling definitely still is
Who are you with?
Virgin media?
Me? No, Plusnet
And it's not a throttled or metered connection

Well, that's their statement on it
They commonly used traffic shaping
But that's not terribly relevent here
Anyway, these aren't really going to be things on fibre to the prem
Due to the high bandwidth
Just the high cost
Costs which are dropping and we've agreed are dropping <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Brexit really isn't going to impact them tbh
FIbre to premises will not drop below the base price of broadband currently
Which means it'll be more than double my current outgoings
So no, you can keep it
Of course it will, the costs are lower and competition between virgin and BT will push the prices down
There won't be any competition - they're going to nationalise the infrastructure
> So no, you can keep it
Nothing you can do to stop it 🤷
It's happening anyway
Then the costs could be even lower <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
Since there's less incentive for profit
Lmao
I'll just hack a neighbour
If Labour does get into power then theres a higher chance that it will actually be cheaper kek
yes, but it'll be fucking unreliable
and censored

> No, you've made a baseless assertion
You just did that
It's not baseless, it's based on previous experience of a Labour government running public services, and specifically running telecoms
Previous telecoms is not fibre.
There is less to go wrong with fibre.
THe nature of fibre isn't the issue, it's the business culture, and the motivations
