IPTV with a cap???

[Edward78]

How fast would it take to get pasta 500 GB cap? So far 3 PCs & Youtube/Netflix on Dish Hopper... We don't like sports, so that is no issue...

This depends entirely on the bandwidth available for the internet connection.   What is the downstream capacity, you can use a calculator to determine how long it would take to exceed 500G

It looks like you were pretty far under the cap last month.

 

As per others it depends on the transfer speed.  If you had a 10 mbit stream 24/7 it'd be like 113.78 hours.

If you used the connection at the full 24Mbit/s speed, it would take approximately 50 hours to reach 500G.

 

Obviously the connection is not used at full speed all the time, should always avoid broadband packages with limited bandwidth capacity.  I would suggest moving to an unlimited package, if your broadband ISP charges you when you exceed the 500G a month limit expect some large bills if the usage isn't kept in check.

Spectrum is not far, few miles.... We are in a territory with only 2 & the other has a cap also, I wish Spectrum bought out these guys... We are not really heavy tv watchers though...

Got a 1TB cap with Comcast. My advice, invest in some OTA antenna's, thats what we did. We only use about 700 Gigs a month on average with 3 of us. Also at least you have 2 ISP's to choose from. AT&T was only able to barely get 6 Mbps DSL working in our area and they no longer offer service to my address. So we only have Comcast.
