    What do you use to stream Netflix?  Whatever device you use to stream holds the session cookie.  For example, if you stream via a TV app, recycling TV power would delete the session.  However, if using Contour, you're not deleting the session.

    I only go on Netflix to see if there is anything new I like out there (now that I have COX) then turn it off. I would usually use TV App easy enough. I am happy to know that there is a difference between the 2. Now I know why I had to sign in a few times, TV app must retain login info because for me it was strange to have to log in to Netflix, that must be when I use  the contour.app. So again I thank you.

    Thanks for all the useful info Bruce but we just figured out how that one night bandwidth was very high. First week I got COX I used Netflix as usual, must have been falling asleep turned off tv. not Netflix, I wont make that mistake again. Trust me. You've been great. Thanks for all your help.
