I chose the 30G peak and 300G off peak. 30G peak is about a gig a day so
provided you don't download iso images during the day you are OK. Don't
forget off peak starts every weekday evening until the next morning so you
can still do big downloads overnight.

Even if you limit big downloads to the weekends you still have 75G every
weekend. That's bigger than the hard drive on my laptop. I changed from the
uncapped to this service a few months ago and have never got anywhere near
the limit.
