Wouldn't work for me

Assuming I had this service, my bill for November would have been $187.71. Instead I pay $70 for unlimited FiOS (20Mb/20Mb), I really hope Verizon keeps it this way. Between Xbox Live (downloading demos, game content and the 1080p Zune store), my Netflix subscription and my roommate uses OnLive. We're both also members of MSDNAA, have Linux boxes which pull a few gigs a month worth of updates, we stream music from Pandora, back-up both of our computers to Mozy, and sometimes have friends over to play Left4Dead (which is downloaded from Steam). Last month we transferred over 130GB and previously 170GB (this would have cost $266.99). Prices like that are unreasonable, especially when I can generate this amount of data using legitimate services.

Overages are capped at $25 so, while it still sucks if you only go slightly over the cap, if you go all out the cost per GB over the cap starts to decrease.

(I'm not defending Rogers, I still think they're awful, just pointing out that little tidbit)

Lucky you . I do 1.5TB/month on my 20/20 FIOS. I have a decent salary but a $3000 bill would definitely kill by budget.
