On mobile it's very common to have data caps, so end users do pay for the bandwidth used by ads indirectly.

- drKarl 5y agoYeah, data caps was something common a few years ago...
- Larrikin 5y agoData caps are very common on phones, but even worse Comcast has implemented data limits across their services for home internet. https://www.fastcompany.com/90580656/comcast-data-cap-remote-work https://www.fastcompany.com/90580656/comcast-data-cap-remote...
- criddell 5y agoI have a Google Fi phone and the data isn't capped, but it's $10 / GB.
- int_19h 5y agoNot quite. They have a soft 15 Gb cap, past which they throttle you down significantly but also don't charge you. And then it's $10 / Gb if you want to extend that cap.
- criddell 5y agoThere's more than one plan. The one I'm on is $10/GB until you use 6 GB (or $60). You're right though that they slow down after 15 GB (not Gb) but I've never come anywhere near that. The way I look at it is that my plan is $20 then my data is $1 / 100 MB.
