It's hard to buy a decent TV without 4K these days, but you can still abstain from streaming in the higher-resolution format, which uses more than twice the data of p video. Although streaming video can drive up your data use quickly, there are plenty of ways to curb your consumption and avoid running into overage charges. If you've cut the cord on cable or satellite TV and are facing data caps from your internet provider, all is not lost. Cox stepped up and expanded its own data-cap enforcement last year, and Verizon is flirting with the idea for its DSL customers, who now face unenforced "usage" guidelines in certain markets. Unfortunately, usage limits have become reality for a growing number of users.
If the home broadband market had more competition, we probably wouldn't have to worry about data caps. Limiting broadband this way doesn't help with congestiondiscourages new technologies such as 4K HDR videoand can ensnare innocent users with undeserved fees when their meters fail.
Let's get this out of the way: Home internet providers shouldn't be saddling their customers with data caps.
