Just keep in mind that Cox has a tiny 1024GB data cap for every internet plan including Gigablast (a high cost premium service). 

By constantly streaming to Twitch and also doing normal things like watching YouTube, Netflix and using cloud backup services such as Google Photos, CrashPlan, BackBlaze - you will likely go over that limit and be paying $10 per extra 50 GB.

It will be fun to watch your data usage on your home internet just like we do for our cell phones. Don't you think? 

FYI, Netflix uses 3GB per hour on HD and 7GB per hour on 4K UltraHD.
