I pay about £20/month for BE Unlimited and routinely burn through 500gb-1TB a month (like TFA I use multiple lossless codecs for media I've bought or produced,

  Yeah, I should have mentioned Be... I used them myself until a couple of weeks ago. I never pulled your 500G+ but I can say I never noticed any shaping or other artificial limits or significant congestion on those occasions I did pull many Gbs around in one go). I've shifted over to an FTTC provider - 10Mbit upstream is nice to have especially coupled with as many IPv4 addresses as you can justify for nowt extra (only a /29 for me (all I need) but people get more - you just have to ask and promise to follow RIPE's allocation & use rules) and native IPv6, the upstream is unmetered like Be but not downstream. Rumour has it Be will need some significant infrastructure updates to keep with that policy when they join the FTTC roll-out unless they make their FTTC based products uncompetitively expensive which they may not be able to afford to do. The reason I picked Sky is that they are advertising the "unlimited" thing pretty aggressively on TV right now, and I know their network is shaped to buggery as are any other ISPs other than Be (that I know of) who offer "unlimited". For people interested in Be (I'm happy to recommend them, even though I can no longer get a "referral" discount for doing so!) nip over to https://www.bethere.co.uk/ https://www.bethere.co.uk/
