How are data caps affecting you? Not sure what mine is, but I never go over on my home and phone connections. Are you hitting the cap? What are you doing and paying?
No, I'm not suggesting this isn't an issue. I'm interested in what people are dealing with outside my experience.
You should be backing up any personal data you don't want to lose to an offsite location? All I know is that if I did that, alone, on Comcast's 1.2TB data cap, I'd be cooked.
Not to mention that individual games are commonly over 100GB these days, and have frequent patches. If you work from home, add that in. If you watch any sort of TV, that's most likely streamed, now, too.
Sure, there was a time when I was always under the 1.2TB of my old Xfinity plan. That time has passed. Luckily, the T-Mobile internet I use now doesn't have a cap.
