    I don't use torrent software. I occasionally watch tv via hulu about 8 times a month. Otherwise just an occasional internet browser. I am running a netgear router with dd wrt. in the last 9 days, I have used like 100mb. thats not that much right?

    Nope. Comcast recently installed some data caps though, so you may want to call them.
