(My 63 GB high was with 2x users running SL continually, plus hefty P2P d/loading at the time)

If the user should, let’s say download all the seasons of a few popular TV shows... then they could feasibly go over 300GB per month. And with HD content on the rise, it's even more likely to exceed that amount. The service should be advertised as limited during peak times, unlimited off peak. That would be fair and transparent. The problem is the whole industry uses the term "unlimited" too loosely that it requires the industry terms to be regulated more effectively.
