You didn't think hard enough!
UKonline may have a 500 gb cap but if they terminated the contract of every user who breached their AUP they would lose the majority of their heavy users. Look at section 1 of the AUP.

The important fact that many are overlooking when talking about caps is that ALL ISPs have clauses which they can use to terminate the contracts of most heavy users.
Oooops, I have probably just breached UKonlines copyright with that quote.
