One thing that is not mentioned is that in some European countries (like in France where I live), there is no limit to the amount of data transfer you can use in a month -- that is, on the home optic fiber lines, not on the mobile ones.
I have a $30 100Mbps plan, and if I want to download 10 TB in a month, there is no additional charge for that.
Mobile plans cost around $20-25 and are tipically capped at 3GB per month.
But don't worry, we're still complaining very much, that the lines are too slow and expensive.
Unlimited plans for Internet over wire is the norm in most European countries. The only exception I know of is the UK. And at least in Sweden it has been like this since broadband was introduced.
I'm on FTTC in the UK (BT Infinity) and on the £26 a month plan it's unlimited (as in, really unlimited). They do throttle BitTorrent though, but that's no great loss for me.
