If you're ever stranded on a desert island, you have nothing but a computer and a bandwidth capped internet connection, download this game until your ISP comes after you and then you'll be saved

Bandwidth capped ? I too was around in the nineties 😅

Is this some kind of European joke I'm too American to understand? In the US the only way you're getting internet service without a bandwidth cap is if you either pay a fortune for it or if you live so far out in the country they haven't even invented bandwidth caps yet.

I was just reacting to your joke lol

I didn't think a bandwidth cap was real. like, today ? there are bandwidth caps ? that's mad. Is there no competition to fight this ?

In my European country, there are no bandwidth caps for DSL or fibre connections. But if you're not in a town (which most of us aren't) and can only get internet via a 4g (or rarely 5g) connection, you have to live with a shitty 700GB cap, which is fucking ludicrous.

700 fucking gigabytes over 5g? That is fucking ludicrous. Around here you're lucky to get a 7gb cap on a 5g plan but I think some people have cellular caps as high as 40gb.

I was talking about broadband at home via a 4g/5g router, not on a phone. They offer plans specifically for people who want internet at home, but who can't get DSL/fibre.

Phones usually have a lower cap, like 50>200GB. I get 50GB with my phone provider for instance.
