I get 250GB a month through my WiFi which isn't too bad but hubby has his Roku. He watches with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon prime. So I have to sorta be careful not to hit it. We got a router now that keeps track of all this. My ISP is too lazy to let us know where we are at.
My husband is a serious TV watcher. So once he cancels cable. I can see our bandwidth cap in danger!
Do you have Verizon? My internet is capped 250GB also. I'm safe (so far), because I tend to stream audio far more than I do video.

If these companies (manufacturers and providers) keep removing local storage from devices to force you into the cloud and then severely restrict your bandwidth; I'm going to rebel and go old school.

I'm going on vacation next month and wanted to take a tablet to watch videos. I passed on the Nexus 7 because it didn't have a card slot. I doubt there'll be any new quad-core 7" tablets with card slots at $199 by then. So, I plan to take my old DVD player and a bunch of DVDs. It's bulky and not as convenient as a tablet, but it works.
