I agree, one thing that is good with residential broadband here in the Philippines is no download limit. In some countries, Australia and I think UK have monthly download allocation. Entry level plans have 300 MB download limit for 29 AUD to as high as 20 GB. If you reached your download limit before your billing cycle, speed will be throttled down to 64 kbps until the next billing cycle. Imagine 300 MB, thats more than what I use for a day here.
