They did quite a bit of testing before rollout and found issues during test and "fixed them". But all the numbers I used to get from them was just about right on with what the router says. Internet is just getting eaten up faster and faster nowadays as more devices/IOT are introduced into households. Console games are getting larger and larger each time and streaming has gone up. For all the people who encouraged people to "cut the cord" this is the result. Cox does not care and believes 1TB is fine. Before they raised it to 1TB they had it at 300-400GB and said only 1% of the people went over... Now a lot of familys are hitting the limit due to streaming so Cox decided to make more money off "cord cutters". If you use the bandwidth you are paying for it now, if you do not want to worry pay the $50 for true "unlimited" and enjoy it.
