almost eveyrone has a provision that they can shut you down on anything even if "unlimited" if they dont like your play.

comcast now has their 250 gig per month limit, though i've not yet heard of anyone getting tagged here locally. now if you run some form of p2p 24/7 and your neighbors complain, you can bet you get "the letter".

same is true of the wireless companies. 7-10 gigs every now and then when travelling likely wont get their attention. use it as your primary connection though and roll past that 5 gig limit as a matter of routine and you get flagged.

you'll find same thing is true of "unlimited roaming". get an unlimited roaming plan then move someplace your primary carrier has no presence and i would bet you last probably 120 days max.
