How are data caps affecting you? Not sure what mine is, but I never go over on my home and phone connections. Are you hitting the cap? What are you doing and paying?
No, I'm not suggesting this isn't an issue. I'm interested in what people are dealing with outside my experience.
I have a pretty solid average of 2-3 terabytes of download a month. My upload is between 4 and 10 terabytes a month.
I stream a lot of movies, youtube, etc. So does my roommate. I once had a sales rep in a different apartment say over the phone that I wouldn't need to worry about the data caps. I laughed and hung up. I'd rather have slower speeds with no cap than higher speeds with a cap. there's no point to having all that data if you spend the whole month worrying about hitting the data cap.
