IIRC Youtube is actually using data compression to make it smaller than it otherwise would be.

Though data caps on wifi is stupid anyways.

Probably stupid in general and not just on Wifi...

I dont think its a thing in my country, atleast ive never heard about it outside of Mobile Broadband/3-4g

Whoa that sucks. I guess I've never lived anywhere with comcast. It's always charter or spectrum or something and they dont have data caps.

even then! i used an extention to download youtube videos and it shows the file sizes before you download. it would go from like 1080- 100mb, 1440- 150ishmb, 2160- 5gigs

HUH

hmm.. maybe 4k isnt as compressed as the rest cause that does sound odd.

1440p has 3,6 million pixels, not quite twice as much as 1080p, but not far off (2,07 million)

4k is 8,29 million so 4 times that of 1080p... so yeah that does look a bit odd.

Yeah i know you have to math it out with color depth and frame rate to get the total data number, but 4k shouldnt be that much bigger than the other 3... more like 400mb... so something else might be going on here

Cant you get an unlimited plan from your ISP?

Or do those just plain not exist for Broadband in the US?

not with my ISP, or even its competitor in the area (ATT). they both have 1tb caps.

the only ones that doesn't have a cap are the business accounts.

Yeah, it sucks. I only got the digital cable package from AT&T because I wouldn't have to deal with a stupid data cap.

Defeats the purpose of having ultra high speeds if you can reach the cap in one day. And I do remember this being a thing for a long time? Like back in the day it used to be 50 GB? Thats pretty much 1 modern triple A game.

Yes dude. We've been getting scammed for a long fucking time under the pretense of "think of the bandwidth!"

Yeah, then they were looking at the big bandwidth expenders for possible pirating and suing them. Dat early to mid 2000's internet life.

Move to Long Island. We have Optimum, which may very well be the best ISP in the country. It does help that they're a smaller company that has to compete with Verizon in certain areas. High speeds at fair prices, no throttling, no data caps. Plus free wi-fi hotspots in basically all business areas. They've also got excellent customer service in the rare instances that something does go wrong.
