Hey everyone,

I have a contract with UPC for access to a fiber optic connection. In the contract it is stated that the amount of Internet data transferred is not measured and there are no limits on this issue. However, I would like to ask if this is actually the case? Can I download for example 100 TB per month without any problems? How does this work in practice?

I know Xfinity has a limit but I pay to have none. CenturyLink does not have a limit. So you may not have a limit. Google if your IP has a data cap.

Google if your IP has a data cap.

I searched for this phrase and found several topics on forums, including reddit. One user wrote that he transfers about 15 TB a month and they don't make any problems for him because of it.

That data cap actually doesn't exist in their North East market.

Must be nice. We should get fiber where I live soon and Xfinity won't be the monopoly anymore.

I just found out about it this month. So far for July I've downed 4.5TB and no peep from them yet!
