My parents have a pretty strict bandwidth limit on their home internet - 12GB a month - If they go over that, they have to pay... I installed adblock on their desktop to help them stay under that limit
Bandwidth is the largest reason for me as well (followed closely by avoidance of malware). I don't have a monthly cap, but our download speed is pretty low and the advertisements were often the parts of the page that took the most time to download. I actually don't mind advertisements myself, in fact I really like them (definitely a minority opinion) as they've helped me find nice products/services that I later actually purchased/visited (just as an ad is supposed to do), but in the end I can't bother enabling them as the bandwidth and malware risk are too high to make it worth it.
