    Yup, pretty much.

    Effective 11/9 though I'll be a cord cutter. The new area I'm moving into though has AT&T fiber, which (at least on an advertisement) said no data caps, so long as you get 100 Mbps.

    I haven't really looked into it yet to see what the catch is (our house won't be done until April, so I have time) but I'm hoping this will work for me.

    Thank goodness I live in a city with a local municipal fiber company. None of that data cap nonsense to deal with. ISPs becoming content providers is quickly becoming a big problem and once the FCC repeals the net neutrality/title 2, you'll quickly see ISPs zero rating their own content while putting caps on everyone else. And once that happens, expect one of the cable companies to gobble up Sprint (especially now that the TMobile merger failed) and do the same thing. TMobile will probably sell out as well to a cable provider as well but for a much higher price. Sprint will be a great bargain for a company like Comcast.
