I'm using plain ol' DSL through Sonic since I'm way too far out in NW Santa Rosa to get Fusion. Been with Sonic for many years and the service has been great, but circumstances have changed and I find myself needing more speed. Since I'm topped-out with the Elite package, I really have no choice but to look at Comcast or U-verse - neither of which I'm fond of, but there it is.
I'm a bit concerned due to U-verse and Comcast both having monthly bandwidth caps in the 250GB range. Those are supposedly not enforced at the moment but that could change at any time. Is there a way to find out my current usage levels through Sonic? I have no clue if I'm using 80GB or 800Gb or somewhere in between. My family "cut the cord" a while back and use NetFlix, Amazine, Hulu, etc instead. With 3 kids, school, laptops, smartphones, and lots of streaming of HD content, I worry about our usage and possibly hitting those caps once we switch. I checked the Member Tools area but that seems not to apply to my situation - I'm a basic user, and don't host any of my own data.
Again, I wish I could go Fusion and call it a day. I'd gladly pay more for the reliability of Sonic.net instead of some corporate behemoth. But it looks like I have little choice.
