A premium usenet(newsgroup) server will probably be able to max out your connection, depending on where you live. With a 4Mb connection, you could probably expect to be able to download 500-600+ gigs a month, for about 15-25 dollars a month, depending on which company you go with. And depending on your interests, you could definitely find enough stuff each month to actually download that much. Here is a good guide if you want to know more about usenet:
