It doesn’t matter if you use Netflix, or download movies/tv shows off the internet versus watching tv via cable/satelite. You still need a high speed connection with a lot of bandwidth. You may have a cheap or non existant cable bill, but you internet bills will dramtically increase.
The Monthly Caps seriously need to go. I feel like I’m getting held hostage and have to plan my internet usage. What is the ultimate goal? Per usage billing like electricity? Is teksavvy the way to go or are they going to get squeezed as well.
