And since you edited your post, what is a data cap?



"A bandwidth cap, also known as a bit cap, limits the transfer of a specified amount of data over a period of time. Internet service providers commonly apply a cap when a channel intended to be shared by many users becomes overloaded, or may be overloaded, by a few users. Implementation of a bandwidth cap is sometimes termed a Fair Access Policy or Usage-based billing"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_cap


Most European countries have these and USA cable companies are semi following.  Comcast had data caps up to 250GB before they started throttling your speed or perhaps charge more (some one else can fill this in) but they have suspended it and now reintroduced it.

"Under the Nashville plan, customers who exceed their 300GB monthly data allotment will be charged $10 for every subsequent 50GB of data they cross into."


So that is something which I don't have. Too bad for you if your connection has that, get another one.
