I have already done 20 gigs according to my router since December 1st. Watch a few film trailers, download a few bits and bobs, emails with 2mb attachments from work, kids surfing, me surfing, a bit of online gaming, it soon mounts up.
One can only hope that NTL take a realistic stance with this otherwise they will loose customers, not in the next few months because there arent that many options but i expect that before the end of 2006 ISP's will offer either much more generous data packages or go for unlimited. this could be the next intra ISP war moving from speed to data allowances. Frankly I'm sorry I just dont want nor expect to have either time or usage caps on the service, it doesnt happen on the TV service or the radio should be the same with the internet.

As today is the 11th you're fine having done 20GB since December 1st, on track for about 60GB this month
You'll also note that there were a lot more unlimited deals a year ago than there are now, and as the speeds go up but the costs to ISPs (specifically ADSL) don't go down, and prices consumers expect to pay don't I wouldn't expect that to change
