[Other] Does Charter Enforce the data caps?

I am wondering if Charter actually enforces their data caps. I think I have a 250 GB max. If I go over will I get in trouble and have nor more bandwidth for the month? Basically I am wondering if the caps are mildly enforced or of they are strictly enforced. Thanks everyone.

Depends on the area and level of congestion

I think they are loosely enforced. At least they are in my area, thankfully, and I've seen very few complaints here about being contacted for exceeding caps.

I was in an area that had peak time congestion and was pulling down over 1TB a month and never heard anything about caps. I even was constantly complaining that my node was congested. Eventually they upgraded the node and now everything is fine and my usage is up.

I have gone over a couple of times, though not by much. I never heard about it.

I have charter at two locations, both pull way over the 250 gb/month and I've never received anything.

I've had Charter for over two years now and there have been times I've hit over two TB a month and never heard a peep. I usually hit around 500-700GB but as I said, sometimes I go a little nuts.

I regularly pull 300-400GB per month and I've never heard a peep.

I don't see how they can enforce when they don't provide a way for users to check their usage.
