well. for what it's worth, i'm a pretty heavy user since i'm on the road quite a bit, but i still have yet to hit 2G, let alone 5G (which was the "unlimited" cap on the iphone plan) on my iphone. sure i can at home downloading over my broadband, but downloading 2G, over the 3g connection? you'd have to stream netflix all day all month. i really wonder what people are doing to get that high.
if you use AT&T's online account management you can get a nice report of your wireless data usage, mine goes back as far as 10/08 and i can see just how much i used each month. even in my heaviest month i wasn't over 2G of data.
has AT&T been screwing with us? yes. will they continue to do so? yes. but until Apple gives us some actual choice in our provider we're kind of stuck if we want to continue to use Apple products.
as for US carriers and their plans, there are certainly places who have worse rates (canada) and places who have better (asia).
