I don't think limiting usage by how many GB you download is really productive. Someones line can sit idle all month and then they burst while downloading a Steam weekend deal or something for one night. That person is not detrimental to the network; it's the people who run P2P 24/7 or who have to download (illegally) every new movie that gets leaked and are constantly draining the pipe that need to be dealt with.
But taking into consideration things like Hulu and Netflix produces a completely different argument.
ISP Usage Based Billing in Canada
SUcks for you Canadian types. Here in Washington I get about 30 MBps down and 20 MBps up on my home line with no data caps for about $50 a month. Hell my smartphone can give me 3.5 MBps down and be used as a hotspot.

this was a problem in portugal a few years ago. imagine a 10GB limit on a month or even worse, earlier than that there were connections that had a 1GB limit per month of international traffic lol.
Nowadays its better, if you live in a small city (mine is around 25000 people) you can get 100Mbps fiber connection for around 50€ a month which is pretty sweet
edit: forgot to say its unlimited traffic :p
