    I assume you go over their cap you're charged more. I know there's a company here that does that but I can't recall which one. Mine is unlimited.

    Any idea what the cap is? If they aren't careful, they'll shoot themselves in the foot.

    250 gb, but myself, my wife, and my daughter all use Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and Xbox Live, so we use the data.

    250 gb is a good amount. Ya'll must be streaming multiple devices 24/7

    Nope not 24-7. I read somewhere 1 hour in 1080p takes 4.7 gigs.

    @LaSalleAve It depends on the frame rate, bit rate, color depth, and the file format.

    I recall something like the highest you'd need for 1080P is around 10MB per second.

    I used to live there, near Summerville in Ladson. Worked at the shipyard until they shut it down. Best place I've ever lived.

    Cool. I have a rental about a 1/4 mile from Charleston Southern (used to be Baptist College.) Had it built in '92. You would be SHOCKED how much that area has developed. I am, and I've watched it happen.

    Is Xfinity satellite? I'm in Raleigh, and have been thrilled w/DirectTV. I am paying less than I did w/Time Warner for a much better mouse trap, but certainly am paying more than you. Does NFL Network include just redzone, or all games? Also, are they providing your internet bundled for that price? 102 megs? wow, I think mine is 50, and I'm still w/TWC for that. It's slow for movie downloads, but o/w I'm pleased with our internet service.

    Jumped the shark and got free Roku stick with 3 months prepaid sub. Watched few hours of SEC network last night. Was fairly decent with minimal chop or buffer. I have basic Charter Internet service on Northshore Fwiw. Netflix seems higher quality than my other TV devices.
