You'd be surprised. AT&T has a 120GB cap.

I upload that in ≈8 hours. Just curious, how much does it cost? It has to be cheap, no?

Congratulations! Now I feel really inferior. What I can upload in a month, you can do in a day!
And I thought I was doing relatively well with a provider that doesn't put a limit (afaik) on transferred data but only on the up and down speeds.
Of course, my dream scenario if for all ISPs to finally ditch this outdated concept of the consuming internet user and introduce affordable plans with identical upload and download speeds.

I understand unlimited is impossible, I even think that every ISP should have a traffic limit, that way at least people would know what to expect. But then I'm against any limit under 500 Gbytes for connections over 10Mbps. That and up speed should be at least 1/10th of the down speed, eg. 30 down/1 up is simply ridiculous.

Unlimited is possible. In the sense that you would still be limited by the speed. I once downloaded 500GB in ~ 2 weeks with my 4mbps DSL connection, yes, the connection was saturated for 2 weeks.
Now that I have a better connection, I upload 150-300GB per day and if I wanted I could saturate the connection and the ISP would not say anything about it.
This is because there are a lot of ISPs in my country, so they compete by offering better speeds/lower prices and the only place where you will find a download/upload limit is the cellphone internet connections (UMTS or whatever), I pay 11.29EUR/month for the service (does not include regular monthly fee for calls/SMS) and get 5GB. If I go over that, every 340MB would be another Euro. However, this is not my main connection - I use it on my phone or connect the phone to my laptop when I'm not at home.

What is your upload speed? To be able to upload 150 to 300GB per day you need a fast upload connection.

I already bragged about it in the other thread. In short - 200mbps up/down to Lithuania, 80mbps up/down to everywhere else.
