Looks like those paws are on the verge of digging right in and getting ready to go!
I really shake my head when someone posts "The sales person said this plan would be all I need".
There is no way anyone can accurately account for a users browser settings, browser extensions, browsing habits and a multitude of system settings in a brief phone call.
Websites change, usually without warning. Recently, using IE, (no ad block or browser extensions) I accessed some pages of election results from MSN.com. Most of them contained auto-start video somewhere within the page ... that you didn't see right away and therefore it consumed data.
I keep IE "clean" so as to have a source of browser comparison if needed, and yes I could have switched to another browser and avoided that extra usage.
There is no way anyone could give more than general ball park figure. If a user leaves an auto refresh tab open it is going to use data like mad.
That really is more of a case of a user not understanding how their computer and a constantly changing internet operate.
Its a user problem, not an ISP problem.
- It is what unlimited cable allowance has created and that appears to be coming to a halt. Even cable can't keep up with unlimited allowance in the far term. Unless some super duper compression technology comes along. People on cable internet don't have a clue how much data they use.
- The page looks different today. Has HN updated it?
It was suggested to me that 10 GB would be plenty, but I went with 15. The user should determine this, perhaps do a bit of research before signing up. The ISP provides a bucket of data. How to use it and manage it is the user's responsibility.I really shake my head when someone posts "The sales person said this plan would be all I need".

I thought the FCC had banned data-capping for 7 years, at least for Time Warner and whoever it was that merged with it.
