It would be nice to see if I'm getting close to the limit so that I can slow down what I'm doing to make sure I still have a connection by the end of the month.

We've had download caps since day zero of "broadband" here in New Zealand. Sucks to be anyone. My current plan allows 75GB of free data between 12am-8am, otherwise it's NZD$15 (about USD$10) per 10 GB. Welcome to the rest of the world, USA.

But will they continue to decrease the cap? That worries me. My biggest concern is that they start at 250gb, I can handle that. But will they continue to decrease the cap? That worries me.
