Let me offer a data point. Mediacom has a 250GB/month “data allowance.” Today is the first day of a new billing cycle, so the data allowance was supposedly cleared.
The cable “modem” was disconnected from 2200 hours 07/21 until 0815 on 07/22. Mediacom reports that at 0820, we had used 3GB of our monthly data allowance.
Yeh, by checking our email between 0815 and 0820 we used 3GB of our data allowance. Right.
No, just more Mediacom “service.”
