Well you are not typical then. I just had a long conversation with our cable guy as he was installing internet in a new place. He said that more & more people are trying to stream 4k video and hitting their caps within hours/days. It's kind of a problem.

It's really funny because they offer gigabit speed internet but it's cap is lower than the 100Mbit. So you get faster transfer speeds but less actual data.

Also our city (which is relatively small in the 200k range) has two competing cable providers installing fiber for gigabit internet across the city. This doesn't seem uncommon and I'd call that a total replacement.

You live in a 200k-person "city" and everyone's buying 4k-capable TVs? This doesn't sound like a typical town to me.

That doesn't mean they need to upgrade the wire going into the house then.
