COX gigablast advice

I don’t think you understand how much data is in Terabyte

I don't think you do.

A 1080p stream is 3.1GB/hour. Television watching is 4 hours/day. At 12.4GB/day, an average* month would have 377 GB of data, per person. If you have a 3 person household, all watching average amounts of TV, per person, this means that they are already over 1TB. This doesn't include any other usage they may have, such as downloading video games (up to 50-60 GB/game), downloading a bluray disk sized file (25/50/100GB/disk), or any of the other low hanging fruit in video/picture industries, such as the wildly uncommon task of backing up to the cloud all of the family photos selfies. Two people, with normal habits, could easily hit the cap every month assuming that they fully cut the traditional cable cord.

* 12.4GB/day * 365 days / 12 months = 377 GB/month

consume that amount of information in 2 hours...?

Blowing through it in 2 hours is just pointing out that the two are very disproportionally sized. Seems like a stupid business model to be supporting, on top of it not being worth it.
