The largest capped plan I've seen available here is a mere 1000GB. 
Currently, at my apartment with 3 people, we're pushing 450GB/mo on a 
light month and over a terabyte on heavier months, and that's on miserly 
ADSL2+ 20/1 all thanks to YouTube and Netflix for the most part. If we 
had faster connections, we'd be pushing a fair bit higher as I'd be in a 
position to start backing up more of my data offsite.

So no, quotas are not really very big, they're just enough for the 
average household these days. For all the flak TPG gets (and their 
stupid lack of IPv6), I will give them credit for not having shaped me 
in any shape way or form on their unlimited plans.

PS: if someone knows a provider with native IPv6 and no metering, do tell.
