I ask because I feel I need to save some money in the oncoming months. Currently, I pay over $76 for 100MBps/1000GB cap. And I don’t think it’s a bad deal, but they’re going to be hiking it up to $90+ by next October and I feel it is not worth that. But I also need to save money too.

What is the difference between 55MB and 100MB when it comes to speed? The cap for the 55MBps plan is 350GB and I tried asking if that could be altered but the ISP says they can’t. This plan will cost me $30 a month.

All I ever do anymore is just stream YouTube, sometimes Hulu/Netflix/Tubi. Occasionally I’ll download a game or two, multiplayer gaming is non-existent.

    I regularly self throttle to 5 Mbs – you’ll survive.

    If anything there might be a slim chance that you’ll hit your data cap of 350gb.

    Assuming you’re just doing 480/720p streaming you should be good. But if you download 2-3 recentish games that might kick you over.

    You might try turning on data gathering on your router if it offers it to see how much you are using.
