It will stop when you start paying the broadband companies enough money for them to be able to offer the service you want. Remember, they have to pay for bandwidth, too, in addition to staff, electricity, and numerous other expenses. Since the whole point of a business is to be profitable, they must first fix prices to cover operating expenses, then raise them slightly to create a profit.
Really, it's not that bad. Pay $AU80/month? Expect $AU80/month worth of service, speed, and included downloads. Pay $300/month like me? It's faster, I can have a technical support person in at my premesis trouble shooting the problem within an hour, there are no restrictions on the services I use or run, and I can download as much as I want (so long as I pay for it). It makes sense to me - you can't expect something for nothing.
