frick this. Just got the email a few minutes ago.
Let's see, I'm currently paying $0.076 per GB but you want to charge me $0.2 per GB in overages. I just did some figuring and I would have paid $120 in overages last month, on top of my $80 internet bill. And cox is the only provider in my area. frick them with an aids dick

I ditched that trash Cox for LUS Fiber last year. Winning.

10+ hours a day
10 hours per day of HD streaming total is not hard to surpass on a house full of devices. In the last week alone, I've watched the CWS for a couple of hours per day with the multi stream on one device and the espn feed on the other.

Football season will be going in dry...
how do you watch football over the internet without a cable sub?

If you manage to use 1TB of data a month you need to rethink your life. That's an astounding amount of data.
On the other hand, it's bullshite that they are capping it
Not to mention I live with a damn nerd who's always on his mega computer playing online games with other damn nerds.

well while i was wrong (and he apparently does pay for the service), this is where i was going
anyone who steals a password (which is not OP) and bitches about data caps is a hypocrite

You still would need each of those using the internet like 10+ hours a day
Add in YouTube, gaming, email, web browsing... any techie could easily blow through 1TB in a month.
Have a family with a wife and a couple of kids and you're fricked with only 1TB per month.

last i read, municipal internet pretty much always ends up a big loser (which includes LUS)

Yep we have Sling Tv and my wife will leave it on all day for the background noise. Streaming high definition football games all day uses a shite ton of data.

I don't blame them. They have to do what they have to do as a business to keep up with the times.
Posted on 6/27/17 at 2:19 pm to Harry Caray
I haven't received anything about this and I've been hovering right over 1tb/month.

ETA: and before any Cox rep tries to tell you any differently and spew off this bullshite about how 1 TB is "more than enough for the vast majority of customers," rest assured this is a big "frick you" to cord-cutters who stream instead of paying twice if not thrice as much for shitty cable.

thats too bad
if affordable streaming were more readily available to the thugs in nola, maybe they'd be binge watching house of cards instead of robbing tourists
