Let’s be generous and say 1hr of 4K streaming is 10GB, so you can stream 100hrs of 4K content in a month with a 1TB cap - that’s reasonable, assuming everyone in the household watches the same show at the same time. But what if I want to watch Blade Runner 2049 while my wife watches Queer Eye, both in 4K? We’re suddenly looking at 50-60GB of our cap gone in one evening. And then what if a few games downloaded updates earlier on that day? Now we’re hovering around 100GB in a single day.
Sure, that’s an extreme example, and that’s not going to be every single day (Sony only pushes game updates on Tuesdays, for instance), but you can see how easy it would be for a two-person household to eat through 10% of our monthly bandwidth in a single day - and we don’t even have kids with their own devices consuming their own media!
