So the average hours of tv watched per person in the us is 4 or 5 depending on what study you go by.

I am just going to go off netflix's GB/hour figures. 3GB/hour for HD or 7GB/hour for 4k.

If you refuse to watch in 4k then you won't touch your cap because you are looking at 360-450gb/month.

However if you have bought a tv in the last few years it is likely a 4k tv because why not. Mine was a 55" smart tv for $350 about 2 years ago. Ive seen 4k tv's for under $200.

4k puts those numbers to 840-1050gb/month.

For 1 person. Now imagine a family that does not always watch the same thing.

1TB is designed to be a cap that is more than enough for anybody EXCEPT a cord cutter. If you decide to go with a streaming only tv plan kiss your bandwidth goodby.



The cord cutter who watches everything in 4k?
