This got my Sister in Law over Christmas. They didn't even know that they had a cap and then they got a Steam video gaming system and went through their entire download in two days.

A steam box would not come anywhere close to hitting 1TB of traffic in 2 days.
Those things cannot even store that much data. -
Any IPS that would send me such email would promptly receive a phone call to disconnect the service. Data caps are just about the worst thing ISP can do to its customers. I would look for another provider immediately, and have them put no data caps in writing.
Btw, 1TB is nothing, I can blow through that in little over 3 hours, half that if I upload stuff too. -

They might, I've heard someone got a letter from Verizon after sending about 77TB in a month. They haven't nailed him, just suggested he upgraded to business tier.

I'm sure anything would be a down grade until something better comes along like google fiber.
