High Tier: Remember these people pay A LOT compared to other countries (most of which need to use the bandwidth of the UK to get to USA) give them 100gb. It's why they're paying so much for net access. Most of the users in this category can get 2mbit DSL with unlimited bandwidth for £40 (location permitting)

Umm 'our' bandwidth is certainly not the same thing as all these other countries, it's not 'our' bandwidth, it's fibre runs that happen to go past the UK, not 'our' bandwidth.
There are a lot of reasons why net access is so expensive here, lack of Government assistance, cable not being the #1 way to watch TV, being an Island and having to use submarine fibre to get to most places to name just 3.
So, why is 3Mbit a high tier here when it's a lower tier elsewhere, why in Canada, so close to the states do operators offer 5 and 10Mbit down with a measly 30GB/month? Why there are contentions way higher than the ~25:1 that's normal here workable?
What you consider a 'fair' amount is vastly above average. IMHO no-one on a home connection should really be using 100GB without paying a massive premium to coincide with the amount of data they are using.
Pay your money, take your choice. If you dislike the packages offered take any other option there may be.
