I used to have 100/20 from Telus, but when I moved it wasn't available, so I grudgingly went to 50/10.
It would be fine, but I work from home with some pretty hefty bandwidth requirements, and on occasion if I am running a few streams, while working and doing video chat, it can get a bit bogged down.
It really boils down to how many users of high bandwidth items there are, and how much you can tolerate a little latency. Right now in my house we typically have 5-6 devices in that category during peak times, with one person gaming online. If you had 1 or 2 streams and don't do much online gaming, you should be laughing at 30GB.
I totally agree that the unlimited data is the most important thing, but it isn't a game breaker without. Telus made a mistake and didn't have it enabled at my new place, and with 3 days left in my billing cycle, I just got a notice yesterday that I hit 75% and that was caused by me installing a good chunk of steam library in a PC for my kids to use. I really appreciate not having to worry if the older kids flip on Netflix and watch a couple HD movies on the TV while the other is watching Fuller House on the iPad whereas before I was unlimited, I had to set their Netflix profile to limit the bandwidth used.
