Currently in Brazil when you contract a broadband provider, all you choose is the internet speed, there is no real limit to monthly traffic. This is about to change, as the government agency that regulates this kind of service has determined that it's better for the user to be charged by his traffic.

Well that might be good for a certain group of users, but not for me, a heavy internet consumer. And since it's Brazil, something tells me that the price will sku rocket. In Hungary, where do I live right now, works similar to Brazil, and I live with other people, so I have no Idea my monthly consuption.

My question is, where do you live, you have traffic limit, and if so, how much traffic you need for Gaming, Video Streaming, Downloading youf stuff.

My current home ISP, the ever-hated Comcast (though their service isn't bad, just a little on the pricey side, but fast as i could ask for and only drops once in a blue moon) has a limit of 300 GB per month, with $50 overage fees for every 50 GB you hit after that, up to some absurdly high amount. You generally don't run into this unless you're heavy into torrenting, though, as that's a little over or under 10 GB a day depending on what month it is.

After writting this topic, I checked at my router data, it seems that I used up to 90 GB through cable on my computer. Which roughly translates to ~100GB of monthly consuption, but this just for me.

Well no idea about how they are gonna charge, since Anatel(agency) have to make the final decision, and then the providers will have to change their currently plan.

"That's really not better for the user... poor people "

Considering that this was actually requested by the providers, it is not, companies generally never sought the best for the consumer, it's more money making than anything.

I live in Canada, Rogers cable isp. Used to be unlimited traffic when I got it, 5mbps in 2002. Then in 2008 I think, it got capped to 60GB a month with 10mbps upgrade. Currently I have upto 40mbps down (2mbps up) and 80GB cap, $56 a month. Sure I can get 500GB for $100 a month, or 2TB for $229 a month. Yet paying $1200 or $2800 a year for internet, ridiculous.

80GB is not much, considering GTA5 download is over 50GB already. Luckily I prefer physical anyway. I have to skip on some ps+ games though, can't download the big ones.

Normal internet usage of my wife and I is between 500mb and 1GB a day. Patches, psn games and kids watching you tube let's play videos suck up the rest. We ran out in October and I had to wait with downloading games until the next month. Obviously an XBox One bundle with digital download vouchers is no option for me.

In Brazil, I pay 20GBP for 15Mb/s. But the internet service is tied to the Phone, so in the end is 40gbp.
