The problem is Data overage. The solution is to put the Roku back to the home page then turn the TV off otherwise it is streaming all day and night. Also lowering the MBPS'S in the Roku from 12 MBPS to 3.5 MBPS and changing the definition on the "convenience" televisions to 720 DPI from 1080 DPI should lower the total usage next month.
Never once during the entire conversation did they offer any of this information. They offered for a limited time Unlimited Data for $25 a month marked down from $50 a month. I said that sounded very fair and was getting ready to do it but then asked is this on top of the regular bill and the answer was yes. Deceptive, Non-Communicative, Garbage. But a necessary evil if you want to stream. I'm not giving up, we really like the Variety of shows on YouTube Tv. 
We are at 1400 Jiggawatts of usage as of October 29th. We don't watch that much TV. You get 2 months of being over for free. The limit is 1024 MBPS. Then $10 for every 50 MBPS after. Pretty expensive. |
Are you sure the comcast limit is 1024 MBPS. That's pretty low. A Terabyte is one million megabytes. 1024 megabytes equals a terabyte. I have centurylink and their monthly cap is one terabyte. That is equivalent to streaming a program in HD on one device for 24 hrs/day for 30 days. I suspect anyone hitting a data limit streaming TV is probably turning off the TV without going back home on the streaming device. Although the TV is off in essence the device keeps running and downloading.
