So the cap is in reality 2.5 gb for my setup, if you are running 24/7 well then you can kiss goodbye to 1 gb.
One big con if you ask me.
Looking at my daily stats, the lowest daily usage I have had this year is 6.78 Mb combined upload and download and that is with the computer running and online 24 hours a day. That 6.78 Mb day I checked my email several times and came on Cableforum for a few hours. My total January usage, combined upload and download, was 1.034 Gb. This was with 24/7 computer uptime and online connection and over 12 hours a day using the net.
