This is something that has affected me recently. I've avoided paying extra for Comcast's unlimited data option since I was consistently using less than the 1.2TB cap for years. However, my son is home for the summer for the first time ever, and he pushed us over the cap this month. Luckily I have the courtesy month left so I won't get charge more, but it has made me realize I will have to make some decisions before next month that I never had to think about in the past.
