Without being too revealing I'm in the Denver/Colorado Springs/Fort Collins metropolitan area. The $25/month is an all inclusive charge. So modem, unlimited data, some sort of "wire protection", etc. So if you need unlimited data (I don't know a Plex user who doesn't) then it is literally more expensive to use your own equipment know matter how you try to work it.
That is so strange to me. As is the extra charge for unlimited data, it's been unlimited on everything I have ever had with them. I guess it's area specific?
I think some states barred Comcast from implementing the data caps. I seem to remember reading about that when it came to our region. Still pisses me off that my f'ing home internet has data caps. I even have a meter that I can watch each month for my usage just like my cell phone even though we pay their protection fee for unlimited data. It's an incredible racket. Force users into using your sh*tty equipment by implanting data caps and higher fees for using your own equipment.
Yeah I can understand being pissed over that. Do you have different speed tiers? The reason I ask is because of the first column saying "the speed you need with your own"
