While a better call might be to charge a reasonable amount per GB over that ($1-$10, probably) or speed limiting (those are the two options available to Australian users, and you have a hard time getting 100GB/Month - 40peak/60off is standard), other than some penalty/ dropping connection, Unlimited data is not feasable anywhere. If ISPs charged $/GB, then they would have a nice incentive for increasing bandwidth, wouldn't they.
I think people realize the cap itself is fairly set... it's higher then mine, as Carpetsmoker said, the punishment for exceeding said cap is outrageous.
