Google is no saint....but they want this.

More people using internet =more people using google = more money for google

Google wants people using the internet....AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Google will force Comcast / TW to change their mind, or end up like Microsoft and the Xbox One.​
them nikkas need to start grinding

they in like two fukking towns

Exactly. These muthafukkas gotta explore ways to exploit people at every turn.

What's scary is that they aren't even selling it like it's necessary evil. You think at the very least they would try to feed us some bullshyt about how they "need" to put caps on data plans because they don't have the "costs" to maintain all this data or some nonsense like that. But nah this is just on some straight :ufdup:"fukk you pay me" type shyt and all of us are just gonna have to take it in the ass.

These muthafukkas would sell you a refrigerator with the door handle sold separately if they could.
cause nobody gives two fukks really

they always throw it out there first in words.... then start up on smaller things (like cell phones)... then slowly go to everything else


now if you aren't petitioning and making a big ass noise with your mouth or wallet (cancelling) then they proceed cause they know you don't even give a fukk enough to put up a REAL fight... not comments on the internet fight... a REAL fight

you think if they announced this, and suddenly 50% of their customers switched to direct tv, that they would continue on with this

speaking of sprint.. they still got unlimited data on phones.. even the iphone... are they #1.. nope... so the other companies simply said, fukk y'all, y'all ain't leaving... cap they asses

now look at xbox (please no war)... people spoke up about the always online and numbers dropped, they HAD to change it... people ain't buying the shyt now cause the kinect and price.. they HAD to change it

just like politics, we control the market... problem is people just talk, but don't put up no money, votes or organize in order to change shyt

welcome to america

This is no bueno friends

If I have to deal with a cap, ain't no way I can continue this cutting the cord life

:snoop:

These fukkers trying to force me to get cable and shyt
EDIT: I did 579GBs last month, I just checked. Already at 173 for this month
in 5 years is another major issue

we all talking this all DD system... so much shyt is using the net that we don't even think about NOW.. imagine in 5 years

netflix, torrents, watching movies online, worldstar, itunes, youtube, sending emails, loading webpages


i mean shyt... you watch a few movies on netflix in a weekend and you already up to a few gigs... 10 apps on itunes can cost you 500 mb... an album is usually around 100.. in 2019... how big are the files gonna be in 4k quality... just 5 years ago we were mindblown at a 60 gig iphone

It's amazing how much these companies just insist on fukking people over for that extra 1% bump in their stock.

These pieces of shyt are making money like it's going out of style, yet that isn't good enough, they gotta go further and fukk people over in the process.
the thing with bandwidth caps is this. a very small percentage of customers use a high majority of bandwidth. that's why the ISP wants to cap you. the average person even if you give them the typical 250 GB per month cap don't come anywhere near that.

these high bandwidth users tend to complain about bandwidth caps and try to hide behind the typical user making statements like they shouldn't be allowed to cap our bandwidth. when in reality these top 10% users are the only ones effected by the cap.

I should know cause I'm in that top 10% and I use my 250GBs up every month.

Lol @ people thinking Google's gonna save them.

The market/demand for Google Fiber had been here for years, they didn't need this. Yet they continue to expand at a snail's pace. Probably because it's not fiscally viable on a large scale.


They will have to eventually. Google's business model is based on people using the Internet. Data caps will prevent potential users from accessing their services as much for fear of data overage fees from Comcast. They better expand Fiber quickly if they want to continue making money.

Wherever whores go.....
Does everyone understand how expensive it is installing and maintaining fiber :skip:
They make more money off a google search user than they ever will a internet customer :skip:
Google is not some angelic company that likes to give out free shyt. There's a reason why they make a ton in profit :skip:
People complain about privacy but google knows more about you than you do yourself. Incognito is not going to protect you :skip:

:dead:


You can't be serious. Data caps won't affect Google's bottomline one bit. People will still search and surf the web, so people will still view Google's ads which is still how they make the vast majority of their money.

It's the Netflix and Hulu type companies that are hurt by this.

So thankful I don't have to deal with Comcast. I've never heard of a positive experience with Comcast from a customer. Hopefully by the time they institute this shyt Google will have broadband everywhere and will just eliminate them from the game.

I can't complain :manny:

In 5 years that will be 8 or so years Comcast went without a cap

That's more than enough time stock up.I know I'm averaging over 600 gigs per month and I've gone over 1TB a few times

By the time they install the cap my library will be bigger than Netflix so I'm good :takedat:
