Your download limit is going to be measured in GB (gigabytes). If you download a lot of large files then you will obviously want to go with a broadband plan that has an unlimited GB plan. However, some people find that they only need between 1 and 3GB each month and for cost effectiveness they choose one of those plans. It is vital though, when checking into getting a broadband service that you compare the different plans for the purpose of being able to download. If all you do is browse the web and do research, i.e search through Google then you can probably get by with a lower plan.
However, if you do things like download movies, watch Netflix or anything like that then an unlimited plan, whilst more costly, would be the right fit for you. Most broadband companies offer a mix of plans so that there is always something that will fit what it is you need to use your broadband access for. If you only want to check e-mail and do basic web applications then be careful not to buy too high a package as you will surely be wasting your money. Perhaps the best thing to do is start out a bit lower and if the need for an increase should arise, you can always do that at a later date.
