Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

NOOB question on Vue... How does it work? Would I be able to play PS4 in my cave while my wife is watching Vue on the TV in our living room?

I only have 1 PS4 but we're planning on getting a Fire stick.

Related: I keep reading articles on broadband data caps being used to "pressure & punish" cord-cutters.

Is this something we should be taking into consideration?

I realize these streaming services are fighting this and it looks like cord-cutters with some ISPs look like they're in the clear for the next 7 years or so.

This definitely worries me. Right after I cut the cord, I was reading about Comcast implementing data caps in some areas and I started freaking out that Denver was one of them. Luckily it wasn't, but I check every couple of months to see if there's any change.

From what I can gather, Comcast's general internet packages offer 250GB of data before making you pay extra. Well, with all of our streaming now, we hit that in about a week. Looking at it now, we're at 1030GB with the billing period ending tomorrow.

I think they offer an unlimited data fee of $30 extra per month. That would end up negating the cost benefit of going with a streaming service, so we would likely go back to regular cable if that gets implemented out here; especially with no access to other high speed internet options.

That's what they're hoping for. Unfortunate leverage that they have.

Fios doesn't have a hard cap at the moment. It's unlimited unless you hit 77tb apparently. We've thought about going 100% streaming.

Uverse and Comcast both have 250GB caps in Houston but neither enforce it thankfully.

In Memphis, we only have Uverse or Comcast. Cut the cord about six months ago and love it. We had UVerse (terrible) and switched to Comcast and I bought my own modem and router.

Luckily, there are no caps for Comcast in Memphis right now.

No data caps for Charter.

This is how it is with Comcast in Denver. There is a 250 GB cap, but it's not active at this time.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Same with Cox in Vegas. Not sure they even send the nag emails anymore.

I need me a kart racer fix. Hopefully Table Top Racing finds the vein.

Is Table Top Racing anything like the old classic Micro Machines?

I loved playing that 8 players on one screen on PS1 using them L adapters.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

All these talks about data caps...I have NO clue (I guess I could check my bill) but how much data is used while gaming online?

Whenever I've heard caps brought up I have these horrible thoughts that one weekends night worth of Battlefield or the like would crush that cap.

For battlefield it kind of depends but I'd say a safe bet is around 50-60 MB down per hour. Maybe half that for upload.
