Expand Im on Comcast, but in Georgia, so for some reason I'm safe? Hadnt had a problem with it previously when we had data caps (they only temporarily lifted them for COVID relief). The good news is, we will have an all new FCC soon that will look out for the consumer and not the large corporation. So I'm expecting net neutrality and data caps to be addressed. 2 Quote

Expand You'd be surprised how fast that goes nowadays with just some regular Netflix streaming for a family of four. Netflix HD streams at about 3GB/hour. To hit 1.2TB, that is 400 hours of streaming each month. Sounds like a lot for you and I as individuals, but for a family it goes fast. And that isnt counting any other internet activity besides streaming Netflix. Edited November 24, 2020 by DrDawkinstein 1 Quote

Nextmanup Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 I had Comcast cable for many years in the DC area, and have it now down in FL. It is the crappiest company on Earth. Avoid it if you can. They'll be out of business, eventually. Quote
