Basically you don't go with a provider that caps data usage.

That's a great plan and all, except here in the USA we aren't really all that keen on enforcing anti-trust policy anymore, so our corporations (who own the government) conspire to remove options like that from the consumer. Their legal teams roam the country and crush attempts at municipal / public internet, buy politicians to foster favorable legislation and lax FCC enforcement, and try to make things like Google fiber difficult. Really it's just another aspect of our society that has been ruined by corruption and crony capitalism.

Basically, where I live, when I want to buy internet, I get a choice between being raped in my anus and being raped in my mouth. Luckily no data cap though... although if I torrented or streamed a few hundred GB a month I'd definitely hear about it.
