Wii + Netflix = Love it

I've heard that some ISPs cap bandwidth and all this over the network streaming could make you reach your cap.

How's that work?

My ISP has a usage cap of 300GB/month. I'm currently well below that (I can monitor my usage with my router). Even when I download way more videos than I can watch I've never gone over 150GB in a month. Of course, the streaming will add to that usage, but I don't really watch enough TV to be concerned about it.

I've been streaming on the PC and have 250Gb through Comcast and have never come close. 9Gb was the top usage I had a few months back.
