As of April 2013 Armstrong has implemented a data cap on their service. This cap can vary depending on your services and location, but it is around 200 GB. Armstrong provides service for around a million people and is the only option available for a lot them. This gives them the freedom to dictate how much they charge people. They've taken advantage of this by implementing a data cap that is pathetically small.



Were you considering purchasing a 4K television any time soon? Were you aware that streaming an hour of Netflix at that resolution uses about 7 GB of data? Watch one season of your favorite show at that resolution and you will go through over half of your cap just on that. Do you play video games? You better just stick to purchasing physical copies of the games from now on since one game can be over 40 GB by itself. Now considering the fact that most people don't live on their own and have to share this data; that doesn't leave much for the rest of the people in your house! What if you're a student who takes classes online? A photographer who backs up their work to the cloud? Someone who likes to stream music on Spotify or Apple Music? The list goes on and on.

The only way that this is going to change is if we all reach out to Armstrong and tell them that enough is enough. Enough monopolizing local regions and then charging their customers whatever they want since there is no competition. Enough punishing people for using a service that they pay for. Enough making excuses to justify these charges.

This petition is being created to let them know that we, as their customers, are displeased with them and trapped because they are our only option. Let's see if they actually "pass your valuable feedback along to the departments responsible for decision-making in regard to bandwidth allowances."
