What are you doing that makes 2TB a small cap I wonder?

Working from home...  :-\
We average 2.4TB each month since the lockdowns.

The month I brought my Xbox Series S, I downloaded a ton of games from gamepass library and still didnt come close to the measly cap you mention.

I'm hitting quite close to 2TB. In Feb 2021, I used >1.6TB. If I was using my internet connection for offsite backups, no doubt I would go over if I was on AAISP.
I'm using the connection for a mixture of working from home, gaming, uploading gameplay recordings, video streaming, etc.

I've used 4TB in a month before, frankly all ISPs should offer unlimited usage now.

FWIW : I have Zen as my ISP and there are 4 gamers in my house, I have two lines, both now Zen (I switched line 2 from PlusNet about a year ago).  My son is a fairly hard core FPS gamer where latency is something he is pretty sensitive to ... we haven't had any issues.

I appreciate its anecdotal but thought it might be helpful,

I noticed this claim from IDNet:

"Why IDNet? Speed! The lowest-latency network in the UK."

Am I the only one who sees "MI5-audited network" and immediately thinks "oh, so its guaranteed to have an MI5 backdoor"?

There must be a lot of caveats to that claim seeing as most latency comes from outside your ISP.  Either from before you reach the ISP or after your traffic has left them.
