It wouldn't be no internet - Plus just cut back your speed to 256kb/s for the remainder of the period if you go over your limit.

If they cut you off, they would potentially lose you as a customer, because people would MAC and move. But however the threat of no net would probably work better than slooooooow net

60GB does sound a lot, but then you have to work it out per day. 2GB is the daily limit really if you're a consistent user. Then take into account weekends, where pretty much people might be using it all day, compared to say later afternoons, evenings, and the free after Midnight during the week, for school users/workers/etc.
It honestly doesn't eek out very well with families who are all net savy, but if you can set things to download overnight, the larger things, updates for windows, any TV shows you want to watch, big videos etc and that does help. But sometimes you do just want to stream something, which is deceptive because you're not entirely sure what file sizes you're looking at per stream. As has been said, if you do stream HD, the file sizes rack up dramatically, compared with a normal stream (BBC vs BBCHD for example).
