I was getting these monthly while on premier. But i have about 6 people at any given time pulling data, Gaming, Streaming video, ect. so i would pop my cap  pretty readily, pushing upwards of 450GB/month.

If your router/firewall supports it turn on metering and watch where you pull data and how. If there is a client you don't recognize then you might want to kick it off your network to see.

I actually increased my service because i use the data, and want the extra speed, but not because of their email. Right now it is only a notification, but i imagine new service will eventually have a surcharge associated with it. and then pushing people of into a fully metered service, much like mobile providers.

it depends on the tier you are paying for. I get 250 GB a month here and (with the exception of january and february) I have yet to even get close to that amount.

Right now, these notices are only advisory in nature. However, at some point, they will start enforcing the caps. Until that happens, All I can say is keep an eye on the situation.
