I got a notice from Comcast that I was nearing my internet monthly limit.

I run Wireshark and I have 2 icons for it.  One just for Wireshark and one for superuser mode.  This is on openSuse.  However, I am in the Wireshark group. Also, where are you planning on doing the monitoring?  Unless you're on the path to the Internet, such as the router, you won't see much of the traffic from your network.  I run pfSense for my router, where I can run Packet Capture to capture all the packets or filter what is captured.
