broadband bills can empty your pockets if you are using it beyond the limit .The worst plan in broadband is "pay as you go" which means there is no defined limit for the data you download,you will pay according to the data you download.The more you download the more you will pay.This occurs mostly in postpaid plans.So if broadband bills are killing you then you can do following two things.
1.take a prepaid plan: If you are using a prepaid plan then it will have some download limit,which will save you from high broadband bills,but this plan may not work for you because after finishing or reaching the limit you may not be notified by the service provider and you will be charged beyond post usage.
2.take unlimited paln: You can take unliited plan if you want to save yourself from high broadband bills.Unlimited plans are best because there are no hidden costs in these plans and you can download anything 24x7 without any extra cost.So better stick to an unlimited plan to save most of your money.Most service providers offer affordable unlimited plans,you can choose a better one.Here is the list of some unlimited and other plans.

check according to your circle.
another way to save yourself from high broadband bills is to keep track of every single bit you download,and recording the total data so your service providers can't cheat you.You can use Netmeter to keep track of your downloaded and uploaded data.Also you can set an larm or notification for your limit.Once you reach the download limit you will be notified by Netmeter that you limit has been achieved.Netmeter is highly recommended for you if you want to keep your broadband bills under control.You can download it from here.
