Data Cap Issues Around Hopkinton
Data collected by our researchers suggests that popular providers in the area use data caps for their home Internet plans. Data caps are a public issue since subscribers see them as a strategy for limiting streaming services, while providers explain that they are a reasonable strategy as they struggle to manage heavy network traffic. In either case, the culprit is the same: over-the-top streaming services, which easily consumes one to seven Gigabytes per hour.
