The different is with analog Telephone Line you pay every Minute, if you are in the Internet... This you can have better on control. But The traffic. I think is not very easy... I make now a test at home... I have installed a counter on my PC and I'm looking, how mach of traffic the computer makes, without me...
You must look Antivirus make every month min. 5-10 mb traffic. Windows Updates.. horror...
En fact the Limit is Fr. 59.-- for the traffic. I think the most costumer are paying the Limit (total 69.--). For 150/50 is this verry expensive... For ADSL i think is the best way a flatrate... But I write tomorrow mornig what kind of trafic my computer is making... without makeing sometings.

That's exact my position. 20MB/month.. This is really stupid..=20 20MB exhausted in a few days by reading your daily spam, some other = mails with attached files and so on..=20
I think no one need ADSL with 20MB traffic limit, the good, old 56k = modem is a much better solution for these "Gelegenheits-surfer" No basic free, no traffic limit.. You pay exactly what you get..
