The basic news is simple: large carriers like AT&T and Time Warner want to shut down the “all you can eat” monthly internet pricing for your DSL or other high-speed connection, and change over to tiered usage-based pricing. Under a tiered model, you pay a fixed monthly cost for a fixed amount of bandwidth, and then overage charges based on the amount of data you consume above that level. One recent Time Warner promotion, for example, socks you with $1 per gigabyte if you go over a 20GB/month cap.

They've been doing this for years... Just change provider, there will always be someone you can pay a bit more to to avoid this...
