Data Cap Issues and Cord Cutting in Ashland

Data from our research team suggests that top providers in the area currently place a limit on streaming on residential Internet packages. Data caps are disliked since consumers see them as a tactic to limit video streaming, while providers maintain that they are a reasonable strategy as they struggle to manage heavy network traffic. Either way, the culprit is the same: streaming video, which easily uses anywhere from one to seven Gigabytes per hour.
