Many companies are imposing hard caps on internet usage to "allow them to offer better service" but it is just their way of holding off the fact they need to spend the capital to improve their infrastructure, I just dumped my ISP of 10 years and went to ATT Uverse becasue they imposed a hard cap of 100 GB a month</p><p>Email, school assign,ents, connecting to work will all eat up the imposed cap that your account will have. You have to all that into consideration. There are programs out there that will monitor your bandwidth usage, might want to look for one and try it out</p>
