NEW ORLEANS -- Some Cox Communications customers who use a heavy amount of data each month to stream video and music could soon see their bills climb.
Beginning July 6, Cox will give most customers in south Louisiana a data plan that allows them to upload or download 1 terabyte of data each month.
Cox said the plan provides enough data is enough to watch 140 two-hour high-definition movies, 300 30-minute standard-definition TV shows, 1,500 three-minute videos, surf the Web for 3,000 hours and listen to 30,000 songs that are four minutes long in one month.
Customers who pay for Cox G1GABLAST service, which provides for faster speed, will be allowed 2 terabytes of data.
Any customer who exceeds that amount, though, will be charged $10 for each additional 50 gigabytes of data used.
