3.75 MB per minute means 225 MB per hour
225 MB per hour means 5400 MB or 5.2 GB in 24 hrs
5.2 GB in a day means 159 GB approx in a month.
Its bad that sucH policy is forced upon us, but even then, with 512 kbps Connection, you can not download more then 159 GB in a month anyway. With proper control, you can get all your work done in 100 GB limit on 512 kbps plan too. then again, what is it that You have to download? Even if you try Linux distributions etc, even then you won't be able to download more then 159 GB in a month.
At 512 kbps speed, 120 GB limit should be termed as fair. 250 GB for 1 mpbs connection.

Just tell me one simple question that if one can live within 100GB then why place that cap even. And why the names are Unlimited ? Strike out unlimited and put pseudo-unlimited plans.
It's a well known business tactics that you bargain a shopkeeper will put selling price higher than usual and then when customer bargains he will lower it to some point but still not the exact fair value. The same kutneeti (tactic) is applied by these ISPs to slowly start the trend and then later they will constrict it more till we become habitual of such things and sacrifice our importance.
