Data collected by our market researchers suggests that some of the popular ISPs in the area use data caps on residential Internet packages. Data caps are a public issue because users view caps as a strategy to stop streaming. Providers explain caps are a necessary tool as they struggle to manage network traffic. In either case, the culprit is over-the-top streaming, which can eat up one to seven Gigabytes per hour.
