Same here. I haven't been within 200 gigs of the cap though, and that's with myself or my wife streaming something most of the day due to our somewhat opposite schedules.

Not exactly a true statement. The obvious difference is in speed and functionality between the two. The FTV has a wired connection port availability while the stick does not. The FTV has 5.1 surround sound and the stick does not. FTV also has a expandable memory slot for up to 128GB or something. The biggest difference though is the FTV can do 4K streams while the stick can't.

Yeah, Cox cable and Century Link DSL both have caps as far as I know...it's the future, these companies can't be running the infrastructure just for a paltry fee per month...Once we start streaming oodles and oodles of data they'll want their money just like the phone companies with the data plans now. Some have "unlimited" but it's 3G or throttled, which isn't that great.

Not sure about the rest, but I think AT&T Fiber's main selling point other than speed is their unlimited. I don't think I have reached a threshold yet of data to where I should look for throttled speeds, but I have yet to notice any at all. Give me til the end of the month to see lol
