I'd be happy with a 1TB limit, just make sure that I'm aware of it.
Hmm, what about 3TB? SoftLayer gives me that :P. Saying that, I'm not paying Virgin Media $294 per month, and that's with a discount (Xeon 1270 3.4Ghz quad with 16GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 100Mbps with cPanel/WHM).

They'll need more aggressive shaping or there will be more areas suffering high congestion.

Will they? I don't believe most customers even know this policy currently exists - I'm pretty sure people are downloading pretty much as much as they like anyway. Traffic shaping would work nicely for torrents though, but please don't cripple them :P. I have a friend in Canada who is lucky to exceed 100KB/s on her Roger's Cable 30Mbps connection with torrents.
I have noticed they do traffic manage torrents currently, and I'm fine with it - if it's something I'm torrenting it's not likely that I need it immediately anyway, just don't make it something ridiculous like a cap of 100KB/s.
