Cable internet in Asheville area?

[flatwood]

I have a house in rural Florida and we have a fiber internet service that was also installed by a small local provider who previously had satellite service off of towers. They also received Federal monies to do the fiber installation.
However, the speeds are nowhere near 100mbps: highest levels are quoted at 25down/25up.
I'm not a tech person and so don't know if the Yancey company will have a different setup to allow fro higher speeds. Someone said that our fiber is not a fiber optic system such as FIOS because of all the connections (joints) in the line.

The problem with Country Cablevision is that according to their policies, you are capped at 100 gigabytes/month. At the top tier 100 Mb/s you could exceed that in 2.5 hours.

Wow, I never thought about bandwidth limits so I did some research on my own. According to CCVN's posted policies, residential usage should not exceed 250GB/month and commercial should not exceed 500GB/month. I compared that to other area providers and they seem to be along the same lines. Links below.

Regardless, this is of interest to me - especially during the Winter when everyone is at home more due to snow, etc. So far over 8 years we never hit the limit, even between the grown-ups' longer work from home hours and the kids' increased usage of NetFlix, gaming, Pandora, etc.

Not trying to cheerlead as I hold most telecoms in about the same esteem as the political class. Just trying to provide some clarification and perspective.

Thanks for the food-for-thought, it is interesting to me.
