i had a xbox 360 and one time i got a new internet with 15gb cap, i only played bf3 and after just one week it finished!
i was the only one using the internet and played for around 4-8 hours a day.
i have always wondered why that happened

If you happen to watch a lot of videos online such as youtube etc. that would be a significant factor

If you average ~6 hours per day for 7 days then you spent 42 hours playing. 15 GB is 15360MB so 15360/42 hours = 362 MB/hr
if you break this all the way down that works our to about 101.5 kb/s which is not terribly unreasonable for online gaming.
This also doesn't include anything else you might have been doing such as watching youtube etc.

I would say 100 kb/s is a high figure for just online gaming but you also need to remember that anything else you or your family might be doing on the internet will be taking up some data too
