I got throttled to dialup speeds for a month in ~2007 by my UK ISP (Demon) for downloading over 60gb in a month. The small print mentioned an abuse clause but didn't specify what the actual automatic hard cutoff was. I was very pissed off at the time. Looking back, the funniest thing about it was that I ended up having an argument with one of the support people on a broadband forum and they were arguing that only pirates would ever need more than 60gb and that internet TV was never going to take off because the BBC iPlayer trial hadn't worked well in their browser. These days there are UK ISPs with their own 4K TV channels.
