Really? Which is X and which is Y in this situation?
I don’t take issue with any implication, but find the sentence somewhat unclear because of the phrasing.
Would the sentence have still been true if they had just written ‘people’? Wouldn’t a lack of access to clean water and other supplies needed for good hygiene increase infections for everyone?
No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.
All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).
Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.
