I'm from the Netherlands and remember when we first got internet over the television cable. It was already unlimited use. Well under FUP (fair use policy), meaning that you could get charged when you extremely exceeded the downloaded data average of all other users. I downloaded everything I could get my hand on and never got a charge for it.

Now I have 1gig fiber connection for €60, I would go crazy if I had data caps.

Many of the ISP's in the states used to have unlimited caps. This whole data cap bullshit started 10 years ago or so. These same ISP's will drop the datacap in areas where there is competition. Hate them.
