Data Caps Among Sweeny Broadband Providers
Internet companies have moved to add data limits onto home broadband plans in recent years. This trend holds true in Sweeny, with Internet companies like Sparklight featuring plans with data caps. This doesn't really matter for the majority of customers, but is liable to affect users that share the service with household members or techies who download or upload a large amount of HD or 4K content. Caps on cable packages tend to be about one Terabyte, which is a problem for fewer than 1% of Internet users, according to a report from Xfinity. Sparklight (formerly Cable One) customers should verify data limits before signing up.
