> I feel like you really have to clutch at straws to come up with how one could legitimately use 1TB of data on a home Internet connection.

It just depends on what you do. Steam's and my PS4 auto updates for me alone plow through hundreds of gigabytes a month. Sure, I also work from home so that adds significant amounts of data to my plan but it's already not hard to utilize your internet above 1TB. However data usage is only going to go up and if you add a cap now, you will regret having them in a year.

There is more and more 4K content on small youtube channels and that alone has added significant amounts of data usage for me. I notice it every time I tether from my limited phone plan.
