Not quite yet. They are only affecting the very top tier of users currently. I think it will have to get further down to the more normal user before we can truly say that.
1.25 TB isn't that hard to blow through. They set the bar way too low.
Really? I have trouble using 200GB
You guys use more than 2GB??
Remember, this is home internet. We are talking about not mobile data.
Gosh I've been living off 12GB per month for four years... What am I missing?
Streaming TV (1080p, if I had 4k TVs it would be worse)
Working from home
Watching YouTube
Gaming
Phones on wifi
Random tech projects
The stuff no one talks about
My Son doing his homework
Streaming TV is the heavy hitter, and these ISPs know that.
Ya I would definitely do some of those things with more internet haha.
Uh oh…
Total used: 4831.16 GB
Oh boy, is that home internet only or is that home internet and your mobile devices? Because I think the home internet line gets 1.2 terabytes of its own regardless of how much mobile usage you have.
Home Internet only. Two of us work from home remotely on Teams video meetings for 8 to 10 hours a day, streaming, gaming, and game downloads and updates.
Oh yeah, that would definitely do it. What kind of speeds are you getting on home internet and on your mobile line? Because depending on the speeds you are currently getting, you may honestly have to switch to cable or fiber with that kind of usage.
We had Frontier FiOS. Kept going out and wasn’t reliable. I was a long time customer but they wouldn’t let me take advantage of gig speed so they kept me stuck at 150/150 at $90 a month. With T-Mobile Home Internet, it’s a range of 200 to 500 Mbps down at $40 a month, which is fine. That’s the current speed even with me going over my monthly “limit” right now with 7 days of the bill cycle left.
Okay, if it's that high, you should be good, even if you end up over the 1.2 terabyte priority limit. Because that tower has quite a bit of capacity remaining on it.
Please add whatever this picture says as text for more information. See rule 2.
Edit: thanks
