Man, that's a great deal. Wish I could get something like that but they don't serve my city.

Yeah, I got sick and tired of having to call Directv every year and threatening to leave if they didn't give me a better price. Same thing with Dish when I had them many years ago.

I have Cox internet and the deal I got was 3 years for $45/month for 150 down and 10 up. It is capped at 1024 GBs/month but I cut the cord back in February and I haven't run over yet. Don't take Mecca's experience to mean that is going to be everyone's experience. I have a teenage daughter that games on Xbox all the time. The wife and I watch TV and movies and I occasionally game online. That has not been a problem. I admit that I was a bit concerned about it going into this but we haven't gone over the limit once in the 10 months we have been all streaming.

We already had Amazon Prime and Netflix. And my son let me use his Hulu. I got Youtube TV because it has most of every channel that we wanted plus unlimited DVR. That unlimited DVR was the big thing for me. Try it out for free. Most of these services you can try for free for 7 or 14 days.

Spent a lot of time talking to my friends about this over the holidays as I'm thinking about cutting the cord with Spectrum. All of them have gone to YouTube TV and swear by it.

When I lived in KC or down here in Florida, I've never even been offered a cheaper version but capped. Any device gets the speed you pay for. Maybe there is a cap but I use a shit ton on bandwith with Skype calls and videos. Son's a big gamer with flashy graphics, wife uses a lot to. We use Disney+, Netflix and Prime to stream content too. Seems that if there was a cap, we would have hit it at some point?

When I threatened to leave last year they gave me a DVR with 120 hours of storage and record 6 shows at the same time. When I was in KC I remember it as recording 2 shows and watching 1 and only 30 hours of storage. Unlimited storage sounds fantastic, Jealous.

Some people do need uncapped internet. I understand that. For me, it wasn't necessary. I just looked at my internet usage and we're at just under 600Gbs for the month with the billing cycle ending in 3 days. And that's with my daughter being home for Christmas break and gaming all day long. My advice to anyone would be to estimate how much you use and then choose from there. Heck, you could go with the lower-priced capped internet initially and then change it if you end up going over every month.

I was curious to see what we were using in comparison to you. We're currently at 1,301GB for the month.

Thank God I pay for unlimited.

I tried to pull my numbers from the past several months but since I just moved on Thanksgiving, it won't show me anything other than my new house usage. But I'm sure it's the same now as it was. I did keep an eye on it for that first month or two.

Man July was killer. I know that Xbox game pass issue - my kids seem to be constantly downloading something off that. Just looked back, my last few months....

Sep: 1,303
Oct: 1,553
Nov: 1,393
Dec: 1,301

Still 10 days left for December..... I'm sure my kids can get another 80-100GB in there before then.
