Gigablast won't be much fun with a tiny data cap of 1024 GB per month.
Netflix alone uses 3 GB per hour on HD and 7 GB per hour on 4K UHD.
Maybe a single person living alone would be able to get by with 1024GB since that would be 341 hours of HD per month or 11 hours per day.
For 4K that would be just 4.8 hours per day. But I guess that's the point. Cox wants us to pay for cable TV and watch commercials.
When you toss in all sorts of other usage such as YouTube, audio streaming, cloud backup of your trip pictures / videos and game downloads even a single person could possibly exceed that data cap.
I can't imagine how an average family of four with two kids on their tablets watching YouTube all day in HD would not go over that data cap.
