I will bite on this even though it wasn't directed at me, and that it's 
a little off list charter[1].

I am presently on the 512/128 flatrate plan ($99.95/month) and love it. 
Their support is good, their accounts people are great, the network is 
fast and reliable. On the flatrate plan, my monthly usage varies between 
1 and 15 gigabytes (yes, it varies that much), and it's seamless.

Their flatrate works on a QoS system. The more you download (basically 
it's a premium account until you download 8GB in a month), the lower 
priority your outgoing packets get. That means during peak periods you 
get slower speeds.

Having said that, on one occasion where I got to 22GB in a month (two of 
us, downloading everything we could click on), it went from about 
50kbytes/s to around 40 kbytes/s. No complaint there. I know people 
who've hit 30 or more, and still had fast DSL during peak periods.
