1TB limit doesn't seem realistic. . . is this personal or business?

Standard residential account.
Assuming this has been in place since I moved here, I have never hit the warning before in 2 years.
I dislike how there is no breakout of the usage though.
I mean, I know what I did, and why I used this much data, but still.

It was funny until I realized you're only halfway through the month. That sucks.

The only have 6 months of history visible.
And you graciously get 2 months of overage.

This got my Sister in Law over Christmas. They didn't even know that they had a cap and then they got a Steam video gaming system and went through their entire download in two days.

A steam box would not come anywhere close to hitting 1TB of traffic in 2 days.
Those things cannot even store that much data. -
Any IPS that would send me such email would promptly receive a phone call to disconnect the service. Data caps are just about the worst thing ISP can do to its customers. I would look for another provider immediately, and have them put no data caps in writing.
Btw, 1TB is nothing, I can blow through that in little over 3 hours, half that if I upload stuff too. -

And you think your ISP is not tracking and ready to nail you as soon as convenient?
