Help with capped internet usage?

[Bad Religion]

So Canadian BSP's are finally capping usage. 

My particular provider is capping my current service at 60GB a month, with a $2 per GB I go over the limit. 

I am just wondering,with never having to worry about a cap, what are somethings I need to watch for? Obviously downloading music and movies or streaming through Netflix is going to have a major hit. However, with alot of you having had these caps for a while, are there any other things I should be watching out for?

Thing like playing PS3 games online, watching Youtube videos, ect.

Look into Net Neutrality.

I'd also be interested in a program like that.

I was under the impression that most US BSP's had enforced caps?

Comcast has a monthly 250GB cap on my internet usage... I run through like half that in 2 weeks and I try to be very careful about what I do online for the remaining weeks in the month.

I can check my cap balance at any time by logging into my account through comcast.com. I don't know what providers you guys have, but I'd imagine you guys should be able to do the same.

I'm also stuck with the 60GB cap, @#$^ sucks. You with Rogers?

Whenever I find connection with my laptop outside my house, I be sure to download at least a gig of media.

I can go through 60gb in a week. Good luck!

I dont think any where wide spread but I doubt it will occur in the US even though it has happened already when it comes to mobile internet. Data caps have appeared in Europe for a while though and I think most internet providers over there cap.
