and now 105 Mb/s down - 20 Mb/s up.
The problem is that they want over $500/month for that last one.

Wow. I pay ~23EUR/month for a 300/300 connection with no cap. However, as the connection is residential class, the speed fluctuates quite a bit (sometimes it's only 20 or 30mbps). Still, I manage to upload 20-30TB/month. I download less than 1TB/month (upload and download statistics include everything - BitTorrent, Youtube, ACK packets etc).

Damn, the best speeds available to my area only barely match your worst speeds :P.

That's probably the cheapest overage fee I've seen so far, when you consider it's $0.20/GB at the lowest (i.e. when you use exactly 50GB).

Surprisingly, Comcast has never given me a problem. While I hate their business tactics, I have to say I'm completely content with their service. This is my current connection.
I pay $42.69 ($39.99 before taxes) a month for this connection, and get free cable along with it. Though, I haven't watched television in about a year. If I'm at home, I'm either watching anime or playing Guitar Hero.
My friends and family all seem to have terrible experiences with them though. I suppose it's because they think the answer to resolving issues with their service is calling up Customer Support and being a huge douche. I treat any rep over the phone with as much respect as I possibly can, and it has yielded nothing but favorable returns.

I don't utilize all of the 50Mb/s down, but I'm running 90% of the 10 Mb/s up 24/7 seeding torrents.
uTorrent says 2.2TB every 30 days.
I need more upload speed, NOT download speed.

Im going to be getting Comcast Extreme 105 in July. Since I have Comcast TV and phones as well it only cost $120 a month. When I move to the next town over I will be getting Cablevision internet instead. Since I work for Cablevision I will be getting 101Mbps down 15Mbps up for $40 a month and free TV and phones.
