well, if you go the cox biz route, there are no caps. :)
call them and when they ask for a referral, tell them that eric oyen recommended the service.
btw, the tv.youtube.com site where you are supposed to sign up is completely inaccessible for those of us using screen readers on any browser in windows. also, considering how old my mac is, I can't sign up there (newer versions of firefox or chrome are required. However, I have yet to try my linux device. it will need some updating though (and I can't update to the latest ubuntu due to problems with ORCA not being updated to operate there as yet. so, when I test this later tonight, I will know if there are issues there or not. btw, is there a chrome for linux?

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...

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.
