Gen5 SmartBrowsing?

Does Gen5 have SmartBrowsing like Gen4 did, or are the new, higher FAP speeds taking the place of "SmartBrowsing"?

Most nights I am awake all night and I use a fairly large amount of data.  Watching and streaming movies and doing updates on computers and other devices between 5 people including an 12 and 16 year old.  (6 computers with win 10/7 - mainly usually only update 2 or 3 of them regularly - and have 2 Android tablets, 2 Kindle fire tablets, and multiple smartphones. Plus planning on getting an iPad in the coming months) 

 

Just seams like a step backwards going to a 50 GB nightly limit.  But the monthly (20 GB) is a slight step up with the current 375 MB daily current.  Plus the faster speeds and i assume better multi user friendly.  (With my current plan only can do one thing at a time).  Also the speeds if limit is exceeded also would be step up!

That's the added bonus.  For the most part, at least from what I have been reading, even the FAP speeds will be somewhat comparable to the speeds of many legacy plans and maybe even better.  

 

I have yet to see anyone FAP their Gen5 system, so I haven't seen any actual numbers as of yet.
