I have my Internet through Comcast and I have a one terabyte cap on usage. According to Comcast I used 500 gb's in November, but only 188 so far in December.

checked my data usage with xfinity for the past six months out of curiosity.

my highest data usage was in october with 768 gb.

we have our internet, tv, and landline phones with xfinity for many years now.

There is a lot of information about data caps online. You should a Google search using words data cap, Comcast,and 2018. You can decide what your next step.

Comcast raises prices every year. The cost of cable will be very high in 2019.

This is a good reminder from @Bridgegal.  We all need to be aware of our data caps.  I almost exceeded my phone data cap, becauseI did not realize that one of my apps was using my data plan rather than wi-fi.

Our available internet connection is too slow to stream.

@Bridgegal.   I have Century Link which, by the way, has been out all day until a few minutes ago.  I'm near Albuquerque.  You're in SF, right?

Right, we are.   At least we've have internet!!   We've heard  + and - about Century Link.   Thanks.

Yep, that's how many we have.   We stream everything since we don't have cable but I still can't figure out how two people can run through all of that in 3 weeks time.

       Just curious if you have cable or do you stream TV?  It makes a big difference if one is streaming versus cable TV.   We stream all of our TV via Hulu live TV.

I do both. I have cable, but I watch a lot of YouTube, Amazon Prime, and more. Most days I stream more than I watch on cable. I also have an antenna for over the air broadcasting.

@gardenman, that is my situation as well. I stream more than I use cable.  If cable goes up, I am ok to disconnect.  LM
