That sucks!

A brief explanation.

Here in the UK, generally speaking, the cheapest broadband allows
1GB a month data transfer, at a slow rate. Pay more each month, and
you can increase the data transfer to 2GB, 4GB and so on until
there is no limit on the amount. Then, for a greater cost, this is
repeated but with a fast download rate.

So, it's a case of decided how much one can afford to pay each
month (bearing in mind all the other bills!).

It's pointless paying for, say, 6GB each month when that amount is
probably only needed once every six months to download a new
version of a distro.

So what is the range of the rate there?

The cable Internet provider here (in my area) has a flat rate per
month with no limit on bandwidth and a download speed from 286KB/sec
to 5MB/sec. $25USD/month to $65USD/month. I am on 3MB/sec at
$45USD/month. It takes about 4 hours to download 5 FC ISO files.
