Consider your data consumption habits and whether your unlimited plan still meets your needs.
Consider your data consumption habits and whether your unlimited plan still meets your needs.
I own a 60 Mbps unlimited plan (7.5 MB/s) from the provider. The link you shared shows the pricing details. Since I live in Kolkata, India, the costs are in Rupees. Last month I took a vacation and spent most of my time watching anime movies and games. Many were 1080p or higher, and some got corrupted or had viruses, so I had to re-download them. This added up to about 800 GB of data used under the unlimited plan. My family also uses this internet. Recently, someone from the provider’s branch visited my house to check the connection and mentioned not watching 4K videos on a 1080p screen. They seem to suspect I might be overusing data. Do I really need to limit my usage even though I’m paying for an unlimited plan? Need advice.
It seems odd that your internet company will send someone to meet you face-to-face. I thought paying for unlimited data would cover this concern.
I suggest first reviewing your plan's conditions to ensure there are no concealed data limits or performance reductions. If adjustments are needed, make them yourself; otherwise, personally I wouldn't be concerned. P.S. On my 900P monitor, watch 4K or QHD YouTube videos because YT uses strong compression that lowers quality, especially at lower resolutions. Using higher bitrates in 4K helps reduce artifacts and improves picture clarity, even though you won’t see all the pixels.
They don’t restrict your pace or charge extra fees; just a few people mentioned skipping 4K streams? Likely they’re dealing with heavy usage, but they can’t force you to stay within limits. Their team is offering solid guidance, which would make sense if streams were less compressed.
Capture an image using your phone. At full size, it appears blurry and noisy, but when resized to half, the details become clear again. Even if the video started in crisp 4K, compression reduces its quality significantly. Also, understand how 4:2:0 subsampling affects the data.
