I don't know that I could stand such limits on my internet.
In about 4 hours last night I downloaded over 6 gig. That's an atypical night, but my monthly stats are definitely above the limits you mentioned.

$59.99/mo 12mb down, 1mb up.


You would be screwed on most consumer UK DSL ISPs, but not on the particular ISP that we have been talking about (A&A).

They do have very low download limits, but the limits only apply to 8am-6pm Monday to Friday. Outside of those times they are totally unlimited.

I am on their 5gig plan, but download (and upload) upto 100gig a month:

$94/mo 8mb down, 800k up, 5gig peak downloads.

If I didn't have to download the odd ISO file on weekday peak times I could get away with the 1gig plan:

$62/mo 8mb down, 800k up, 1gig peak downloads.

And if I could do without 800k up it would be:

$38/mo 8mb down, 400k up, 1gig peak downloads.

Most UK consumer ISPs have peak hours of more like 4pm-2am and either limit your downloads during this period or throttle bandwidth on ftp and p2p. Many of had "unlimited" products until recently, but as soon as people started using them as unlimited they had to start making their products a little less "unlimited", though some of them still advertise them as such.
