That is very expensive. In Japan, for example ADSL connection from Yahoo Japan costs you about 4000 yen per month (less than 40 US dollar) for 50 Mbps ADSL.
And also fibre optic connection has become very common and cheaper. For example Usen Networks (one of the provider in Japan) provides 100 Mbps fibre optic connection for only 2950 per month.
I use the fibre optic that comes with 5 static IPs. And it costs me about 5000 yen per month.
Download cap is totally never heard in here. As far as I know, all packages come with unlimited bandwidth.

The British way seems to be to get dragged, kicking and screaming into the modern world. The EU is a good example. In five years time, people will have fast and unlimited connections and companies like NTL will be forced to offer them. Sadly, very few British companies have the vision to look forward to the future.
