First it was the end of Moore’s law, and now the delicate balance that existed for so long between computers getting more memory and software getting more bloated has been wrecked by software more wasteful than anyone could’ve imagined. So much for the so-called Information Age. I guess it’s Disinformation Age time.

If you’re willing to ask even this ridiculous question here in public, I’m not sure why you’d need to go anywhere else.

Weird. Is this a typo? They must’ve written “mandate” where they meant “prohibit” or something.

That’s technically within your legal rights I guess, just like (depending what the fine print says) it’s within their rights to throttle all your traffic one way or another to a low speed including the stuff you actually need to go faster. The places that always have low speeds for everyone are like that because they’re designed to cater to people who don’t give a shit about what their fair share might be and just want to max out their connection. Those services are fine for torrenting, useless for everything else. Windscribe isn’t one of those but it could become one if enough of its users think like you and insist on it.

Hopefully they’ll set a soft 2TB limit or something before they do that, though.

Them calling it “unlimited” when there’s a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine’s limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.

Edit: Oh right it was 2Mbps. I spent 20 minutes surveying datacentre prices around the world to come up with that number, but bandwidth prices vary widely and might’ve changed by now.
