Comcast is apparently testing a 300 GB bandwidth cap (with add on packages at $10 per 50 GB beyond that). It’s a pricing model very similar to mobile data plans.
It is being tested in some areas of the country.
From a Comcast spokesman:
What we found was that having a static limit was not what our customers wanted. We looked for a more flexible plan so we looked at raising the data plan to 300 gigabytes a month.

If you’re curious as to how much data you actually use, Comcast has an online tool that can show you:

I’m rocking about 160 GB per month.
356 GB March, 321 April, and 331 in May. We’ve already used 160 GB this month.
If and when the data caps come, it’s going to be pricey.
