alt Hacker NewsMy mobile phone contract reduces my speed a lot when the hard limit it reached. I still get some connectivity. What Never happens is that I have to pay extra. If a company can’t give me hard limits on the cost I have to pay, I will not do business with them. Notifications when close to the limit are fine, but when I don’t react to them I want things to crash rather than having to pay indefinite amounts.
Isn't that a soft limit? I guess it's a hard limit from the "zero additional cost" perspective but sift from the "stuff still works but in a degraded state" perspective.
