One major reason why this hasn't happened yet is the economics around it. If people who sign up for 3Mbit are signing up to download 500+GB/month there's no money to be made there, quite the opposite to be honest (on 1Mbit you can download 300GB).
Consider somewhere like Frank's new home Canada, 100GB a month is considered massively heavy use there (that 100GB is only 3.5GB/day) and this is a place where the standard speed connections are 3 - 5Mbit and the highest speeds all the way up to 10Mbit.
Higher speeds do absolutely not equal a license to download loads more. In a way you're shooting yourself squarely in the arse here, you pay for maybe a 1/20th share, 15GB/month, can't complain when your provider baulks at letting you download 30 times that amount for twice the price.
I have 2Mbit ADSL, my standard usage along with my partner on 2 PCs is less than 20GB a month.
