Bad 4 the gaming industryIndeed. Very good.
Comcrap has caps as well...

Oh they do in South NJ... Log into your account and check your usages...What is weird is that they only do it in certain places; like in south NJ they don't have caps at all.
I'd be absolutely f***ed if they had caps.

Why would I not want to play my One X on my big 4K HDR tv? This is not for me.
They watching you!Looks like my usage is down a bit. I blame the heat.
Didn’t know you had to choose. Thought there was an option to have both. Like play on the big screen at home. Play some games on the go.
I’m saying though why would I want to. I love playing on my big screen.
Reading YouTube comments about this today. So much Microsoft hate.
Bro I left Comcrap years ago when I got Fios. I have a matching speed of over 389 Mbps Up and Down.Comcrap has caps as well...

Eventually I might go fios but as much as i h8 comcrap i h8 verizon as a company even more.Bro I left Comcrap years ago when I got Fios. I have a matching speed of over 389 Mbps Up and Down.
I drop those fools long ago.
EDIT: I just did a speed check and they are close to 1,000 on both.
I am as well and this is what I am hearing...I'm in SJ and no they don't, at least in my part of south jersey which is right outside of Philly.

Where in SJ? I used to live in Cumberland County.I'm in SJ and no they don't, at least in my part of south jersey which is right outside of Philly.

I hope not but hear otherwise and them keeping track of usage is troubling...NN has nothing to do with caps.
In my area, Comcast has no caps. My buddy who lives in Washington State has Comcast and does have a 1TB cap. He has to pay extra to get uncapped service. This kinda s*** was going on while NN was in place and even before it.
He has a point, and I don't know what others outside of here are saying, but it's been less "it won't ever work", and more "its further away than they (the media) insinuate, and there are serious hurdles if they want to replace consoles".
This attitude is in response to the notion that consoles will be dead and replaced by streaming. I say that's more than one generation away. Is all. I don't think they'll never get there, just not in the next couple years.
Maybe 5G will come along and be the wizard jizz they're claiming. Things could be very different in that case.
I'm still doubting.
I'm reading that there will be no caps with 5G, or at least less likely than with 4G. For me, Verizon went from opened to capped, then back to open/unlimited for options a couple years back. I believe they went back to that unlimited option in preparation for 5G, which is the way 5G should be.Yeah, also of the mind that this isn't a replacement and likely won't be for a long while. Too much variance in ISP quality (speed/latency) and other factors out of the providers control. My thought is that this will eventually be good for SP games and as an added feature to GamePass (I just don't see new games from 3rd parties on a service like this but I may be proven wrong). Maybe it will be $5/mo extra for GP or $10/mo on it's own (if you just want streaming).
Me too. Problem with 5G is that it's obstensively a phone network and phone plans skew towards capping traffic. I have an "Unlimited" plan on 4G/LTE but will still start to get bandwidth capped after 30GB....which is NOTHING in this streaming world. So, even if 5G is the be all and end all, they're going to have to change the model a bit if they want it to replace home connections (i.e. offer hotspots with no caps or extremely high caps). I'm still not sold that 5G latency is going to be any better than 4G either in the real world, in which case, I'd never use it to replace my home connection. It's all relative though...if I lived in the sticks and had s***ty internet options and 5G is the real deal and available, I'd be really happy about its impending release.
Yeah, options are always good and I welcome 5G to the competition. At minimum, it should open up gaming to folks that can't get fiber/cable. If the experience in the Wired article holds up, seems like MS is on the right track here but still think multiplayer will be problematic on non-wifi connections (latency). Also, I can only imagine tablet overlay being good for some games and I'd probably use a controller 90% of the time on phone/tablet. Frankly, sounds like the Wired experience was better than my in home streaming over wi-fi which I would regard as playable but glitchy.
