Eh, in the UK they have / had a package of "unlimited" 3g, £30 for 90 days.
Unlimited means they do weird stuff to prevent some content from working after one gigabyte per month - flash videos don't work, for example.
They throw up interstitial warning pages which break forms and the back button, which can be annoying.
They have fierce image compression proxies, but the Windows client (if you chose to use it, you don't have to) allows you to turn it off.
I carefully checked that it was unlimited, and I gave them fair warning that I consider myself a heavy internet user, and I made sure they knew before they took me on that I'd be hammering the bandwidth. And I do.
