Finally kicked Cox to the curb. Question about eathernet connect with data usage
Posted on 7/13/21 at 6:15 pm

One smart tv is hardwired (eathernet) the other smart tv is one WiFi - I’ll just hard wire it.
Will a eathernet connect make that big of a difference on my data plan?
I couldn’t get a substantial answer via google.
Thanks

Wired vs wireless is the same regarding data usage.

The difference is probably extremely minimal, but wireless can likely use more data depending on the quality of the wireless link.
TV's aren't known for high quality wireless and if you experience a decent bit of buffering with it connected wireless versus wired, you are, in fact, using more data.
How much? Hard to tell. 1% more? 10% more?
So not much difference from a data plan perspective, but could be a decent difference on viewing enjoyment.
Good tv, good wireless. Happy.
Bad tv, bad wireless. Unhappy.
Just try it a few weeks and see.

I think it's the opposite actually. Most (all?) streaming apps and services detect buffering and drop the video quality (and data rate) accordingly.

One of the smart tv is wired - obviously awesome
The other is smart is WiFi and I can reduce the picture without buffering but I’ll just wire it in
Thanks for everyone’s input.

Kork's right, you can use less data without buffering if you don't mind a crap picture.
