We get 150gb per month, split into two sections of 75gb on peak and off peak. It's usually not too bad, about neck and neck for the percentage of usage/month. Though, this is split between four people and with the rise of iPad's, phone internet connections and everything else connected to the internet it can go over with a bit too much video watching.

My family recently upgraded to 10 gb a month.  From 12-4 it's unlimited thou, and rather fast.  Still impossible to play multiplayer games thou.

At least until my studies are done. Then it's back to the same old low bandwidth speed (still unlimited, methinks).

I have 3G-network-usb-thingamajig, with unlimited bandwidth. Download speed good, but being a 3G-network, it is quite unreliable so I can't play most multiplayer games without lag.

To my knowledge, it's not capped, but I'll be moving back home for the summer, where it's capped at 20GB. Gonna be weird.

I moved back in with my parents a year ago after I finished my B.A.  I'll be leaving in September to go do a Ph.D.  But while I'm here...

My parents live in a rural area where the only Internet access option available is 28k dialup.  Yes, 28k, because it's so far out and the phone cables are such low quality.  The ISP supports 56k, but we can't actually get that.

Satellite is not an option because we basically have no southern sky at all.

Once a week I take my laptop to McDonald's to do any large file downloads I or my parents may need.

I feel better now.

Where I live we get 3 mb/s when we're not at the limit. We recently upgraded from a 7G limit with a speed of 50kb/s

Got myself some halfway decent download speed, although my upload speed is terrible compared to you guys.
Unlimited Internet usage though, which is nice.
