                Reminds me of the old Godzilla movies for some reason.

                  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.

                        4TB drive. It's not one From Steam. Just a dedicated Steam desktop.

                                Upstate NY, I have 3 ISPs I can choose from that I know of. There are more I'm sure.

                                  How far upstate? We have two to choose from where I am, one is Spectrum the other is low speed DSL.

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

                                        They might, I've heard someone got a letter from Verizon after sending about 77TB in a month. They haven't nailed him, just suggested he upgraded to business tier.

                                          Yeah, internet / cable is a complete and absurd monopoly in the U.S. I doubt he has any other realistic choice on what internet he gets. I'm sure anything would be a down grade until something better comes along like google fiber.

                                            Kingston, Poughkeepsi area? That's still fairly downstate. Still a very populous area.
