To clarify, I didn't change my plan with Cox.&nbsp; It's been on the plan formerly known as Gigablast for some time now.&nbsp; What I did just change however, is my connection to my switch upgrading from gigabit to 2x10GB.&nbsp; Otherwise, up until know, I've had 2.5G from modem to firewall and 10G from firewall to switch.&nbsp; It wasn't until upgrading my PC connection to 10G that I could actually test speeds above gigabit reliably.

Post back&nbsp;after some time&nbsp;has passed and let us know how much your data usage increased.

So I'm in a market that doesn't have data usage billing.&nbsp; The running joke is just how far over the limit I'll go each month.&nbsp; Since you asked, I checked and I'm typically between 6-8TB/mo.

If you don't mind, let us know how your data usage changes anyway.&nbsp; I suspect higher speeds lead to higher data usage.&nbsp; In your case, it doesn't matter.&nbsp;

I don't think this change is really going to impact data usage on my end.&nbsp; I'm not a streamer, at least across the Internet.&nbsp; Most of the processes I have running are non-time sensitive data based traffic which as of this time are not fully utilizing the available Internet pipe.&nbsp; I picked up one of these cards and installed a pair of 1/2.5/5/10G SFP+ modules:
