    Iirc tmo has 2 tiers. One with a smallish cap and one that throttles based on tower capacity when you hit something like 30 or 50tb. I had the 30 day trial and I’ve considered getting it as a backup to our cable internet, I’ve held off because most of the time if the cable is out, it’s a bigger issue like a power outage that also eventually takes down the towers as well, plus I think where we are there is only one tower that we connect to and when it goes down we switch to another much further away with barely any signal.

    I have spectrum gigabit down and they cap us at like 35 up. I’m watching and waiting while 3 companies aside from spectrum and att rollout fiber all over town. I’m hoping that eventually they get to us. We live in the outskirts and one of the companies expanded south from north of us so I have reason to hope they get to us eventually.
