With the upgrade to CitiZip Fiber service, you may notice an increase in your bandwidth usage. This is because, by default, most streaming services will deliver the highest quality video stream that your device and connection will support. If you find that you are exceeding Data Usage Plan, you can upgrade at any time through your Citizens E-Care account or by calling our office. We also suggest that you review and adjust the quality settings on your streaming devices to avoid overages. Keep in mind, there are NO DATA CAPS should you exceed your Data Usage Plan. We will NOT interrupt or cut off your service or ability to access the internet. Your usage overage will be billed at $5 per 50GB over your plan.
