We use CenturyLink for internet only and if there is a monthly data limit I am not aware of it. We stream everything and typically consume about 600 gigabytes per month. We do make a point of hitting the "home" button on our Rokus when we turn off the TV otherwise it will continue to stream whatever we were watching, and consume bandwidth. Our CenturyLink plan cost $45 per month including all taxes and fees for 80 megabits per second download/40 megabits per second upload. We cut the cord with an Over-the-Air antenna (pretty much not used anymore in favor of the excellent YouTubeTV service) and Roku boxes about 7 years ago.

We do stream pandora during the day when we are here. We have Comcast.

What are others doing to get around high data usage....other than turn the TV off.

We are new to cordcutting so we might be missing something.
