That's why I mentioned lowest plan. Sure, bump it up for higher levels. But if you want 100h of 4k content a month... just pay for the higher quality to subsidize network development which can handle it?

This is totally out of the minimum requirement area.

The 4K content is probably coming from a rack in the local ISP's DC or nearby colo in a peering agreement with the video streaming operator, and barely costing the ISP anything.

The place where ISPs skimp is between the home and the DC where the monopoly is.

Yep. I used like 2TB last month. And that‘s with 2 people in the household. Granted, I‘m certainly a fringe user. But with 4K streaming, YouTube/Twitch, PS5 downloads, Steam, server stuff, usenet, video conferencing, WFM, etc. it kind of stacks up.

I‘m so glad I have a local fiber provider.

I downloaded a MS Flight Sim 2020 update yesterday and it was north of 100gb lol.
