Yes, your figures are spot on, but they do not tell the whole story, as not everyone is interested in how much data they can download, whilst still staying within the AUP, but rather how fast they can browse.
I think someone mentioned the cap does not actually limit you to 30gb per month, but rather asks you not to go above 1gb per day for something like 3 consecutive days in a 14 day period. I think we're all agreed this is rather wooly, and a 30gb per month allowance would be far more sensible, but that's not the issue.
To complete your story, customers also need to take into account the following, which is cost of bandwidth (based on new pricing and bandwidth):
300k = 5.9p per k
750k = 3.3p per k
1.5mb = 2.5p per k
This compares to currently:
150k = 11.9p per k
600k = 4.2p per k
1mb = 3.5p per k
This highlights how much the 150k users were being fleeced, but it also domstrates that the new pricing is better value for money.
