| This is a joke imo, you raise the cap on some of the middle tiers a bit. But yet leave the ultimate tier at 400gb's of data a month, and ultimate is becoming at least a 100/20 tier in more market's now. I tell you this, stuff like this just makes me want to go over the cap. To see if cox will say anything about it, because I have already voiced my feeling's on this matter. It would just make me give cox a hard time back. Because of all these upgrade's, ultimate is/has had the biggest speed upgrade recently. Yet cox reviews the caps, and only bumps up some of the lower tiers? What a shame.
My ultimate promotion ran out at the beginning of this month, and this right here, will make me push hard for a good discount rate next month when I able to be locked into one again. |

No bump for Ultimate...good thing Cox doesn't enforce it given I did over 600GB last month and it is getting worse thanks to Netflix UltraHD. |

I haven't went over the cap yet, but I do hope cox is rather soft to the ultimate customer's cap wise. Because with this change, ultimate should of been moved to about 500gb monthly cap. As with the current, ultimate is now only 100gb more then premier, and I currently am paying close to double the price of premier atm. But that will be changing next month, when I am able to lock into another discount/promotion, and I will be making the call to do so. |

I've gone over many times without an issue. I don't even bother checking anymore. If they do eventually give me trouble they will lose a ~$250/month customer. |

I hear that, and I have been with cox pretty much since they started offering internet in hampton roads, which has been a long time. |

They have this in my area here Premier..
300 Gigs allows you to use 9.6 gigs per day x31=300.would have been nice to see 350 gig-400 on Premier.

No Strings, after looking at your graph, it's amazing how little bandwidth we use every month. This with streaming audio, video and still have room to spare (not sure if you can put photos above the text on here or just like this)

You can tell when my oldest son comes home from college. The Netflix and other streaming usage goes through the roof. He uses more than the other three of us combined and that includes one who is on Xbox of some other online game and has Skype running the whole time.
The only time any torrents are running is when my Linux distribution releases and new version - once a year, maybe.
The rest doesn't amount to a pimple on a flea's ass.
We hit 200 once, most of it Netflix. |

Its of my Opinion that Premier should have 400gig and ultimate at 700GIG.
Some may say am incorrect with all the Large downloads you have these days be it HD Movies or game downloads.With the caps we have vs speed you will go through that no time.

Mary Esther, FL | We shouldn't have to worry about caps, period. I'm not a data hog, but, it's nice to be able to backup my files off site just in case. I bought a WD MyBook Live and a new Gigabit switch (Buffalo router) and the whole idea of Cloud computing is great but the data caps kinda puts a damper on things.

For once I wish they would actually tell us why they raised them to a specific amount.
Or, why the highest catagory doesn't get raised while others do get raised. |
