With 4 people using computers at home, I regularly exceed 250GB/mo. Uploading videogame play, watching other gamers' streams, Youtube, downloading free online games, downloading dame demos, game patches, online gaming, watching podcasts, facebook games, skype video calls, working from home.. it adds up. An average of 5-8GB/day is where it ends up. My highest was about 398 just a few months ago and 260-280 GB is the norm.

Funny thing is, I have Comcast and have had them for over 5 years. They never sent me anything saying I am capped at 250GB/month.

I have never received any letter/email/warning. If I do, then I can always switch to their business plan which is just about $8 more for the same speeds and has no cap.

I agree though - caps are stupid. All these phone/TV companies needs to realize their old services are obsolete. They need to lay down fiber-optics and supply only fast internet, which can be used for TV/phone and internet.
