At 20 mbit/s (usual bitrate for 4k tv channels, as well as netflix, prime, apple+ etc. premium vods) that's 9GB per hour, so you'd reach a 1TB monthly cap by watching for like 4 hours a day on a single device.

So, if you need to watch more than 4 hours of TV a day, get cable, or pay more than $110/month.
