"A host of cable companies, including AT&T Broadband (T ), Charter Communications (CHTR ), Comcast (CMCSK ), and Cox Communications (COX ), are moving away from the old flat-fee pricing scheme that allowed users to download and transmit endless amounts of data (especially music, movies, and software) over high-speed connections. Instead, they're rolling out new pricing schemes that could put limits on bandwidth usage per month and charge users additional fees if they go above the limit."
