Using 60 gb ain't so hard to do either. I broadcast an internet radio station, and with one little 32k stream going to my streamhost, I use a gb every couple of days- just for that. If I wanted to watch a couple streaming movies from Netflix and then play a couple heavy duty online games... I'd be pretty close to my limit.
Ultimately this will be bad for business. Bad for the isps, and bad for places like netflix who rely on people not worrying about their bandwidth. And new web applications & services are not going to get LESS bandwidth intensive as time goes on. They're going to have to back down on this.

Well, after researching a little bit yesterday, I have come to he conclusion that my ISP pretty much has me by the balls. Because my area is under a contract with Time Warner. Which basicly I would have to move about 4 towns away just to swith my ISP, which is pretty unrealistic. So its either that, or DSL and like you said, DSL is unacceptable.
