Data Caps Around Sunapee
Data collected by our researchers suggests that some of the top providers in the area place some sort of limit on data use on home broadband connections. Data caps are controversial since subscribers see them as a tactic for limiting video streaming, while providers insist that data caps are a necessary strategy for managing heavy network traffic. Either way, the issue is over-the-top streaming, which can use anywhere from one to seven Gigabytes/hr.
