This is why Cox has now imposed a 1.5tb bandwidth cap on users. They know
everyone is cutting off their overpriced video, and now they're going to
charge you for the massive bandwidth that things like netflix use to recoup
some of that. Nothing is "free", so caveat emptor.
Case in point, my aunt pinged me when Cox sent her the threat of overage
charges, where she really only does tv streaming. She was at least a 1tb
over their "normal" limit now, and would be charged accordingly. Only
things she really does is use Netflix and Vue for tv, but apparently enough
bandwith to exceed their cap, and she doesn't even do 4k content or have
kids soaking it up, where many do. I can only imagine the bandwidth needs
with a house full of kids doing the same, plus gaming and everything else...
Still cheaper than paying for cable tv, but I presume their charging will
only rapidly escalate to offset their dying video/telephony services and
lack of anything else they can really charge for. Since every other
carrier is dogpiling in to slaughter and feast on the corpse of net
neutrality, Cox decided in their own interests to hop on he bandwagon too.
Thanks for all the fish, Trump.
