So, looking at the big picture, Durant's broadband infrastructure follows a pattern seen in many US metro areas: strong availability of cable and DSL, but limited options since most houses are limited to one company for either Internet service. The cable/DSL pattern comes from the fact that most Broadband providers were started pre-Internet as cable TV and landline phone corporations. So, they use pre-existing wired networks on utility poles for delivering broadband service. Fiber Internet is growing as an alternative. While not all "Fiber" plans are true "Fiber to the Home" connections, 61.99 percent of the population has access to fiber Internet stretching at least to the street nearby.

Data from our researchers suggests that common ISPs currently use data caps on home Internet plans. Data caps are a public issue lately since subscribers see them as a strategy to discourage streaming, while providers insist data caps are a reasonable strategy as they struggle to manage network traffic.
