They can sure figure it out to bill me. But monitoring my data usage was too hard, so I switched providers. Lucky me, I have exactly one other to choose from, but at least they don’t have caps.
I was stuck on Xfinity for years, followed the progress of the local up and coming fiber ISPs construction efforts like a hawk and my house finally went live on Monday!
I switched everything over and nearly ripped out the stupid Xfinity modem/router and it was returned same day. I made sure I was loud (plenty of people in store) when they asked me why I was cancelling that I was “SWITCHING TO [local fiber ISP] BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS SO MUCH BETTER”
This is some bullshit if this is in compliance. I had to enter my address for the quote, still doesn’t show what the fucking taxes are, or real price.
“Comcast and other ISPs complained that listing every monthly fee would be too difficult”
This is very hard to reach compliance, but you’re not smart enough to understand why.
sometimes asking a computer to add and multiply numbers is just too hard

Well then never mind that, I guess they’re just breaking the law.
What? The Corportations that stole billions of dollars given to them to get fiber across the country aren’t good people?
Maybe if we give them more money, it won’t happen again
Do you really think a gigantic corporation like them would do that‽ just go about and ignore the law in the name of profit?
No, never.
Ooo they’re gonna have to pay a fine of $12 if they’re not careful.
If their only punishment is a meager fine, then yes it happens all the time. At that point it’s simply the cost of doing business.
