A Gb of extra data transfer usually costs less than a couple of quid. So if mostly a 2Gb limit would be ok, the odd month where it's £17 quid instead of £15 is still better value than paying for an unlimited service that you don't use. Obviously if you need 10 Gb a month, a service capped at 2Gb plus a quid or two per extra Gb isn't going to work out cheaper.
I'm on an uncapped 0.5 meg service with Zen at the moment, for which I pay about £25... it's an excellent service, but I'm contemplating moving to a capped 1Mb (or even 2Mb) service at some point.
But not all ISPs are the same, and some are much slower than others, even for the same nominal speed, which is why personally I'd be reluctant to use Tiscali at all, given the ratings on adslguide.org.uk.
