Data Cap Issues in Colton
Data collected by our researchers shows that some of the popular ISPs use data caps on residential broadband packages. Data caps are disliked since users see them as a strategy for limiting "cord cutting", while providers maintain that caps are a reasonable strategy as they struggle to manage heavy network congestion. Either way, the culprit is the same: over-the-top streaming, which easily consumes anywhere from one to seven Gigabytes per hour.

Customer Reviews of Internet Providers in Colton
Great Service
Had them since they started in 2013. Service has great reliability! its gone out maybe 2x over the course of last 5 years and it was out for just a few hours max. Customer service is great and friendly. Price is fair for the speeds you get. TV service is pricey as is the phone. Def. recommend if you can get it! Awesome service.
