Surely that means you should get billed for the bandwidth you use, or an increase in costs? Thought not.
They dictate the prices. they tell us all these heavy uses we can do with it. infact they encourage it at the signup page. they keep throwing all this speed at us to tempt us to buy it. but at the end of the day they can't afford to do it really, and we should all stop doing anything with our connections but keep paying them the money because we feel sorry for them.
