As a side note. The big cable companies aren't stupid. They are already putting limits on data for those of us that "ditch the cable". It is just a matter of time before that will become a factor.

I doubt a retiree that's cruising facebook and streaming movies and tv shows would hit a 1TB data cap.

I agree.....right now. Things change based on how much business they loose from the cable tv. 1 Tb can be reduced easily just like cell data or slowed down. Don't trust em.

As stated before, depends on where you live and what you can do without. Streaming services are great but you will give something up. We have Spectrum plus Disney+ and Amazon Prime. Download is 200mps and upload is 11 mps......more than enough for what we need. Carbonite runs in the background so backup is never an issue.

Definitely. I can see them going to the wireless plan model of different tiers not just for speed, but for usage.
