I looked into my data usage, I'm not the only one using my Internet through Verizon, used almost 300GB this month. People report using well over 1,000. Just as fast today as on day one.

As was said, if you look at anything, really check the fine print. HD Video or higher uses a LOT of data, even standard definition can add up. Many plans may say "unlimited", but they may only include about 15GB (or other amount) of "fast", then after that it's too slow to stream any video. They call it unlimited, which it is because they don't cut you off, but you may not be able to do everything with it. It varies a lot, but with HD video, Netflix says "up to" 3GB an hour. So, most capped plans won't work well for very long.

Tmobile also has a home internet option in limited areas. They also don't cover my area at all, so I haven't paid a lot of attention to them. You can check here, if it's in your area, they'll let you know. https://www.t-mobile.com/ISP
