A 1Gb limit is pathetic. Your very likely to get into the habit of downloading stuff more casualy than you used to, and its easy to go over a limit that low without realising it. A couple of demos here, a funny video there, and your over. Then, they either cut you off totally, cut your speed to dialup rates, or charge you a fortune for the amount you go overlimit.

Whereas, with the 512K, you dont have to worry about that and its not going to be that much slower except for large downloads. But, be careful you aren't just missing the download restriction in the fine print, unlimited broadband isnt that common.
