this is the main problem I have with pay as you go and data caps. It would be prefereable to me if it was only for the data I want and ads were charged back to the ad creators but its coming from my allotment of internet. Even if you block them they still will be taking up the bandwidth.

The main problem I have with data caps is that they're a bulllshit cash grab from subsized companies with a monopoly/oligopoly. There's almost nothing most of us can do, so they keep leeching more and more money.

...I also hate ads with a passion.

yeah its like look. you can charge me based on an unlimited set pipe or by amount used (theoretially because I won't do it due to the ads using it and such) but not both. pick one.
