I have Xfinity internet and TV.
Luckily I am on the East Coast so the 1.2 TB monthly data cap is not yet in effect, but it starts next year for us though, so I am trying to plan ahead.
Unfortunately where I live, Comcast is the only allowed / supported ISP. (We have underground wiring throughout the community and no poles within blocks).
Therefore FIOS and Optimum etc. are not even options for me, if I were to be interested in switching (assuming they are good these days - I had both at a former residence, but that was years ago).
I seriously doubt it, but are there any wireless high speed internet options that I may be overlooking (that would not cost more than the overage charges)?
Obviously 5G mobile, if even available here (which it is not yet), would cost a fortune for a truly unlimited data plan with no speed limits which kick in after X GB, let alone 1.2 TB.
Other major ISPS are not imposing caps (yet at least), so hopefully if Comcast starts losing enough Xfinity internet subscribers, they may reconsider their position on caps, or at least raise the caps.
In this day and age where more and more people are working remotely, streaming is becoming mainstream and more and more content is 4K, along with other internet usage increasing dramatically, 1.2 TB is really not all that much...
Anyway, if anyone knows of any potential options for my situation (i.e. Optimum and FIOS are not options due to restrictions noted above), aside from living with the caps of course (which I suspect will end up being the case), I am open to suggestions, thanks!
