Data from our market research team suggests that top ISPs in the area use data caps on residential Internet plans. Data caps are disliked because customers view caps as a strategy to discourage "cord cutting". Providers insist that they are a necessary tool as they struggle to manage heavy network congestion. In either case, the problem is the same: over-the-top streaming, which can consume 1–7GB/hr.
