It looks like Mediacom might be the best internet solution for my new house.
I have used "free" google fiber for quite a few years now, which is only 5 mb/s. Seems to be fine for speed.
However, I have never paid attention to usage amount, since there is no cap.
It looks like $39 a month is 200 mb/s with a cap at 1000gigs.
I work from home and stream TV. No video games.
Doing some looking around, it seems like 1000gigs a month should work without going over.
Anyone have any experience with this?
I am guessing it is better to buy a modem instead of renting one for $13 a month?
Thanks for any insight.

If you actually get any where near 200 mbps, for just under 40 a month i'm impressed...
Sounds like and introductory offer (even if they aren't telling you). So be ready for rate hikes at the 1 year mark...
Obviously everyone prefers unlimited, but ya gotta roll with whats offered...
1000 gigs a month is a pretty good allowance, though there will likey be many folks telling you how many terabytes a month they use.
Ex: Our house is all streaming, no cable or sat.
When I worked for Charter and worked from home24/7, we had 5 people, 3 gaming systems, 6 TVs w Rokus, pcs, laptops, phones, tablets, etc...
We used about 500-600 gigs a month, some a bit more...
Working in the industry, I dont know how they can offer and sustain that level of service for long at that price...
