Good Provider for 100GB a month

I am presently on Zen Internet £30 a month 1Meg unlimited (REALLY unlimited!)
At present I download from Newsgroups anywhere between 100 and 150GB a month. Zen will be limiting me to 100GB (for the same price) from March.
I am wondering if there are any other providers out there who I might be able to use. My line is capable of ADSL Max (8 Meg) so I could move up in speed easily, but its the download limit thats the problem. As most of you know "unlimited" is usually capped with a Fair Use policy of anything from 1 GB to 50GB.
So far, the best I could see if providers who let you download as much as you want as long as you do it offpeak. Tiscalli limit you to not overusing your connection between 1800-0000; Demon limit you between 0900-2200, Eclipse too limit between 1800-0000 and Toucan between 1800-2300.
I suppose if I did have an 8 Meg connection, the amount I could dload overnight in 6 hours would still be more than I am at present on a 1 Meg connection all day
Anyone else got any suggestions for suppliers with no or very high limits?
PS no cable or LLU available in my neck of the woods.
