How many people actually hit their 250-300gb caps? I'm a power user and I've never received a notice of an overage.
Just wondering how many people are actually using the internet THAT much...
I've heard a few friends complain about it lately.

I'm on 12-14 hours a day, almost every day. Never have gotten one, although now that I've said that I'll probably get one tomorrow.
Wow, just checked and found that I'm using about 20% of my allowance per month.
I have satellite. AT&T for DSL. It amazes me that I can stream a 1080p movie from Netflix with no jitter, but sometimes it is slow as hell in downloading a file from the internet.
My house goes over every month, about 900G avg per month, switching to comcast business next week. These bills have been killing me.

How do you check to see how much you are using?
Login and search for "usage meter"
We don't have the cap in Pittsburgh right now, but I'm at 200GB used for this month. It fluctuates, but I used 229GB in January.

Just login, you'll be there and can check your usage history too.
I work from home two or three days a week. Lots of VPN and RDP. My kids watch at least one netflix show a day. I use ooma as our home phone.
We only use about 90GB of our 300GB each month. If you aren't a cable cord cutter or torrenting you won't have a problem.

Same. But Im on specific type of business class and don't believe I have a cap. I just looked at some reports on my home router and multiple devices VPNing out account for a majority of my traffic.
I didn't really realize the caps existed until a few friends started receiving the letters and calls. I'm a power user, but I've never received one. I don't do any file sharing or gaming, so that's why I figure I stay below the caps.
Meanwhile, I used 6gb on my iPhone this month with zero tethering. Having worked in the wireless industry before, that's in the 99% percentile.
Netflix/Hulu can be challenges. This whole move was (in large part) brought on by the "cut the cord" mentality. One quick fix to folks having challenges with the cap and are streaming a lot of video is to ramp down the definition from HD to the next step down. That cut our household usage dramatically - and you can't tell the difference at all on devices/smaller TVs.
There are caps? I've never reached mine and I work from home every day and am connected to my company network via VPN all day. I have business class internet though, maybe that's why?
