What's this?

Some companies, like Shentel, have data caps

And yes, I'm serious. It's my only option for cable based service and it has a low limit.

Cordcutters....how much data/mo do you use? ** -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 4:46PM

I don't know if Verizon FIOS even tells you how much you use -- BigDave 05/09/2018 08:15AM

Looks like fios is truly unlimited, but doesn't seem to offer high enough- -- JoesterVT 05/09/2018 08:30AM

I used about 600GB last month...family of 4 with 2 teenagers -- Vienna_Hokie 05/08/2018 9:54PM

Yeah...I think that means that I have no real solution right now... -- JoesterVT 05/09/2018 07:45AM

Let me ask another way...the "throttled" speed after my limit would be... -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 8:13PM

I think the recommended minimum for HD streaming is about 5mbps -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 9:03PM

My parents have a lake house with a 3 megabit per second -- HokieDan95 05/08/2018 8:21PM

As Manbearpig mentioned, would you stream SD, HD, or 4K? -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 6:18PM

I dont even own a 4k TV and don't have plans to soon -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 6:37PM

If YouTube TV was an option you were considering, I think it limits you to -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 6:41PM

Yeah, that would be for the TV, but... -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 6:45PM

When we first switched I hit the data cap for comcrap -- Manbearpig 05/08/2018 6:12PM

Ask again in a month. -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 5:48PM

Why would you use data? 95% of the time you're streaming you have access to -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 5:18PM

Is that not data? -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 5:22PM

I cut the cord 18 months ago and it made zero impact on my internet or cell -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 5:29PM

Some companies, like Shentel, have data caps -- hoosnowahokie 05/08/2018 10:17PM

So you're stealing your neighbor's wi-fi? -- Pylons 05/08/2018 8:42PM

Here is what I can say without hesitation: I have not once -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 8:50PM

Ditto -- YardBird 05/08/2018 8:59PM

So what does that do to your ability to watch a variety of live sports? -- Nova Hokie 95 05/08/2018 5:40PM

Nothing. Streaming service (Directv Now) gives me access for $35 a month -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 7:17PM

MASN? CSN? -- Nova Hokie 95 05/08/2018 7:44PM

MASN does not stream in-market anywhere. Will probably be the last holdout -- Femoyer Hokie 05/09/2018 08:13AM

Get CSN and NBCSports Washington but not MASN, yet. There are many -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 7:46PM

All of the streaming services offer more live sports -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 5:51PM

Yeah, but aren't you looking at local blackouts and added fees? ** -- Nova Hokie 95 05/08/2018 5:57PM

Don't think so... -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 6:02PM

Follow up -- JoesterVT 05/08/2018 6:03PM

Your internet options suck then. -- vthokieq 05/08/2018 5:26PM

Yes, options suck in the NRV. $70/month only gets you -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 5:40PM

That’s just so sad. ** -- vthokieq 05/08/2018 6:14PM

It's unamerican ** -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 8:16PM

I get it. No need to rub it in. -- Tafkam Hokie 05/08/2018 9:05PM

Made me chuckle. -- CPRVHokie 05/08/2018 9:13PM

Happens in major markets too though. Friend in Vegas gets throttled. Unreal ** -- HokieinTampa 05/08/2018 5:40PM
