There is no way to check (bytes used) unless I’ve set up a router which will log ingoing and outgoing packets, email me a status report and throttle my bandwidth at a certain point. (I’m working on setting this up)

There are tons of completely legal ways to eat up that kind of bandwidth. For one, I use a Roku player. Two, I didn’t know about the cap and was letting Ubuntu image torrents upload like crazy (i actually try to keep a library of a bunch of the different distributions). Three, I’ll send big stuff in email quite often. Four, I keep a backup of some of my files on the Internet so they’re always trying to sync. Not to mention youtube and itunes. Throw a toss of freelance web work and it seems like I’m pretty much always uploading or downloading. I also prefer direct to drive games.
The cap really is not that generous considering that you have the ability to go ten times over the cap. If you tend to use the shit out of services that you pay for, you get penalized.
