Hosting providers sell the "unmetered" like it is infinite champagne at wedding, but when you drink too much they hide the bottle in cellar. I am tired of this. The contract should say minimum bandwidth, not just "up to" fantasy. Voilà, what you think?

Actually here we have ARCOM who check the "commercial engagement" lol. They ask the provider to prove the bandwidth or pay fine. Since 2 years it works better.

The EU has actual teeth because they wrote the number down on paper and the judge reads it
