at 5.5kb/sec constant (24/7) download speeds (more or less the max you could get out of a 56.2k modem), over a 30 day period you could download:
14256000 kb or 13921.875 mb or 13.5955810546875 gb of information.
So sure, it was technically unlimited but 5 years ago you could only physically download 13.5gb of stuff over dial up.
Now we can download (with the cap) 5.5 times as much information per month, but at the insanely stupid 250x faster (or more).
So 250x the speed, 5.5x the amount we can download.
If they had given us 250x the amounts we could download it would be 3,375 gigabytes (3.4 TB) of stuff.
