OT: ISP advice

[aTotal360]

I just moved into a house that is about 4 miles out of the city limits. For internet, I have 2 options...Comcast Xfinity and AT&T DSL (no Uverse).

I bit on Xfinity because its the only real high speed solution available. I stream and game a ton. After about 10 days of service, I get a popup window that say I'm about to reach the limit of my data cap. I read the fine print and sure nuff, I'm 17ed. Comcast has a 300GB monthly cap on data. Mind blown. I simply can't have a data limit on my interwebz.

As I said earlier, my only other option is AT&T DSL. Is 6MB DSL fast enough to run Netflix, HBOGo, etc.?

You should be able to with 6mb DSL. That's what I used to have in my other house. I played PS3 with that connection speed fine.

Jesus 300 gb is a lot for a month. You must stream everything

And he reached his limit in less than 2 weeks. ~30GB/Day

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Yeah that is a lot. Maybe he's streaming a lot of movies and shows and playing a game like Destiny. It can gobble up a lot of bandwidth at times.

Let's just say I have a firm handshake.

I only have 1 box in the house and stream to the rest of the house (office, kid's room, and bed room). I also work in digital marketing, so I'm moving several gigs of media on a daily basis. Not to mention I have 100% of our cell phone usage routed through my ISP as well (via Microcell).
