Also when you do go over they throttle you data speed. I thought I had cable line, modem or router issues. purchased all new stuff to just remain at half speeds. Especially around peek times. So for a week now I have been monitoring my speeds every 15 min for week noticed my 300 Mbps I pay for is fine from 11PM to about 530PM the next day and 90-130 during 6pm to 11pm. so my average for the week is 133mbps. I pay for 300Mbps. How I really found out how it was not the wire to my house or my equipment I took my modem to a friends house hooked my modem up to his cable line. My friend also pay for 300Mbps. his modem is a COX rental as I own mine and before you say I have an old modem before my new one I had a SB6190. 32x8 channels capable of 1Gb, this modem did have a bad chip set "puma 6" Which is what convinced me it was a hardware issue. my new modem is a SB8200 a Docsis3.1 beyond what my area supports. So back to my friends house, both modem hooked directly to computers with CAT7 cables and 1000bT connections he was pulling over 300 for the 10 minutes we tested a solid range of 290-320's. my test were no different then my house 100-130's. My thoughts are if you limit my advertised speed you should prorate my charges. Sorry but this has been an expensive discovery just to find they are trying to get all of us to pay more. This is also in their policy that they can throttle your net to make sure the NODE can provide inter net to all on the Node by load balancing. What they don't say is that you will also have a lower priority and slower speeds if you constantly push this minimal cap
