Nope. Only what you pay to MS for the XBL Gold subscription.
Won't affect your usage much though (unless you download loads of game demos & HD movie rentals etc.).

Re: XBOX Live- Increases usage?
I doubt if Xbox would have a lot of effect on the bandwidth available to Max. From what I can gather playing an Xbox 6 hrs a day for a month would use about 20 Gb. This is playing only of course, downloading games/patches would be extra.FAIR USAGE POLICY

no way, even in extreme cases you will never use more than 50mb in a day, if all you are doing is playing games
