You're not going to get "unlimited".. that was a lesson learned WAY back in the 90's that unlimited didn't pay.

250 is just fine, for these days.
I agree with two conditions;
The ISP provide a meter that's at least within 24 hrs accurate. And the overage charges be somewhat reasonable.

These two conditions will at least give the user a choice. If I am at 250GB already, and still want to watch 2 Netflix movies, well, it will cost me.

Those over even 100GB are the vocal minority, and likely heavy video streaming users. As IPTV becomes more popular, I can see the caps becoming an issue for more people. A large family with multiple TiVos trying to view a lot of HD video during summer break, and the caps are easy to blow through.
