Even worse is the systems to check how close you are to your limit. Cox updates those systems every 24 hours, so consumers that 24 hour blocks where they have no idea how much bandwidth they've used. ISPs are at full enshitification with random surprise fees, just like airlines.

yeah these meters have been broken and weirdly nontransparent for years at most ISPs, but because our regulators are hollow pumpkins it never seems to matter
