Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

Just as a fun notice to all the people considering cutting cable and going with online streaming programming: this month my household - which consists of my wife (a teacher and thus off all summer with naught to do but watch our 3 kids), me, and the kids - has already consumed 700 GB of data, according to our internet provider. Our "limit" is 350 GB per payment period ... so we've doubled it with time yet to spare. Last month we did the same number of 700 GB, mainly because she and the kids stream Netflix/Hulu all day long.

I'm waiting to see if Cox requires us to pay for a higher tier of internet subscription now, or if they will just let it pass. The good news is this spike only happens in the summer; all non-summer months we usually consume between 200-280 GB of data. And some of that is digital game downloads (darn PS+ and Xbox Gold free games :hihi: ).

Thank goodness I live alone. :hihi:
