Re: [CenturyTel] Being terminated for excessive usage

It may be tied to personal bandwidth of the household. I have Centurylink 40/20 Fiber, and I stream Netflix and Amazon Prime at the highest settings. With MLB.com starting up (which I stream to my HDTV) for baseball, I can hit 200Gb a month pretty easily.

I do think that Netflix and Amazon reduce the bitrate depending on network throughput. I guess my argument is that you can easily brush up against the cap if you have the throughput to do so. If CL is going to disconnect people for exceeding the cap, they really ought to provide a bandwidth meter.

Joe, that sounds like a first world problem that only concerns the privileged 1 percent! Most people are complaining about the slow speeds and could never download enough to hit a cap if they let it run 24/7.
