A lot may, most won't. Most people don't come anywhere close to hitting 250GB/mo.
I just recently updated my WRT54g router with Tomato firmware, and the bandwidth stats are interesting. I never would have thought that I qualified as a heavy user, and as of right now (with only a few days stats), I'm trending to use 150GB for a month. This doesn't include the streaming that I usually do either, so I'm sure that I'll exceed 200GB in no time.

edit:

I think that Comcast should specify up front that the CAPS will be adjusted upward on a regular basis, a la gmail storage space. The goal and understanding being that bandwidth needs, like storage, will INCREASE over time. So within 6 months, the CAPS will rise to 300GB. In 12 months, 375GB, 18 months 475GB, etc. Otherwise, this is a blatant money grab by Comcast.

If someone has bandwidth trend statistics showing how their use has increased over the past 24 months, please share.
GOOD
F'ING
LUCK

if anything these will trend downards toward a pay as you play rate structure as they bilk you more and more just like cell phones
