[...] For example, Comcast and Charter currently have data caps that are 250 GB per month up to 500 GB respectively. Some Canadian providers also have relatively high caps like this, but the more insidious threat is tiered billing. In the U.S., AT&T and Time Warner Cable have both attempted to implement much lower caps via tiered broadband access. In 2009, Time Warner Cable trialed tiered broadband pricing that started out at $15 for 1 Gb per month and went all the way up to $75 for 150 GB per month or $150 for effectively unlimited service. AT&T also attempted its own trial. [...]

[...] Additionally, data retrieved through the VNI Pulse application that Cisco offers for folks to track their own network traffic showed that yesterday individual users downloaded more than twice the amount of data they do during a normal day, at 322 MB vs. a typical average of 159 MB (using an admittedly small sample size of 100 people). Doug Webster, a marketing executive with Cisco, speculates that many people had the inaugural festivities streaming in the background while they did other things, but if one day of online streaming pushed up your data traffic by more than 100 percent, imagine how a regular viewing habit would affect you under a broadband cap — or with any tiered service that charges overage fees.

Actually do not put much emphasis on 150GB, as that is only available for UVerse customers. This page has the caps based on vanilla DSL customers. As you can see, the Elite count has a cap of 80GB, not 150GB. The lower amount is enough to make services such as Netflix WatchNow, Hulu, et al no longer a feasible video alternative.
