The thing I love about the streaming services (my main is Youtube TV) is that I can drop them at any time and, unlike satellite companies, there is no penalty.

700/month, but they have several levels between 600 and over a terabyte.
700 isn't unattainable, but not easy to hit, either. They used to auto bump you to the next tier after hitting it 3 months in a row, but now at least "only" charge $10/100GB as you go over.
I use about 10GB/day right now and that's been with pretty light streaming lately, and 700 comes out to 23/day.... I also set my Fire stick and Netflix down to 720p, which isn't noticeable enough to care and I think saves like 50% data usage over 1080 (it's also on a smaller TV in the bedroom). I might be screwed if I streamed any 4k content though.
And yeah, the contracts suck, especially when they can remove channels whenever they want. Losing an OTA channel for all these weeks will probably be the last straw.... considering canceling the last ~6 months after the NHL playoffs are over, since the $20/month to cancel plus streaming options would be less than keeping it around.
