I have Spectrum as well, but using a VPN w/ dead switch turned on has worked thus far. They really are ruthless with dmca though. Hate Spectrum with a deep, deep passion, and not just because of that, but everything else. There's a competitor rolling out fiber everywhere in my city though, so I will soon be ditching them, thankfully.

There are 2 companies running fiber in my city but I live in the outskirts in what I call country'ish, no clue if/when they make it to my street, there are only like 20 houses if that on my road.

If I’m not mistaken, Spectrum has no data cap, right?

Asking because I actually miss Spectrum relative to other major cable providers. And I’ve not had the opportunity to get on the fiber train yet.

No data cap anywhere that I am aware of. Despite being in what I call country'ish we have gigabit down from them but the upload is capped at like 35-40 megs.

They have no cap, but that's only because they agreed to not impose a cap for a period of time as part of the agreement with the FCC (FTC? One of those 3-letter agencies) that allowed them to absorb Time Warner Cable. That period of time is up, I'm pretty sure, so we shall see what they decide to do.
