This is a fair usage policy, not a data cap. We don’t have a data cap. Customers still get unlimited data
even if they use more than 1.2TB in a month (over 2X the average user – less than 10% of our customers).
They’ll just be prioritized after other home internet customers for the reminder of the bill cycle, and they
may notice slower speeds compared to other home internet customers in times of congestion. This ensures that a
ll of our customers get a great network experience. At the start of the next month, those customers reset
to normal prioritization until the next time they hit 1.2TB.

I’ve had their home internet for over two years now and I don’t think this policy bothers me. It is our backup/alternative to crappy 20Mb DSL. It works well enough, but during [traffic] rush hour it gets congested from a nearby highway. To be expected and overall I have no complaints. I can stream 4k youboob just fine. I don’t think I get near or over the cap, but just in case I think I’ll keep P2P/Usenet traffic on DSL.
