It could be.
I think what they're saying is that the 'Acceptable Use Policy applies' is a standard phrase used by many companies, and as such the consumer doesn't see it as a big deal, and probably wouldn't think that Traffic management was involved and was a part of this 'clause'

another thing is that the ASA think that only the heaviest of users get hit, and after downloading an 'abnormal' amount of data. but in actual fact we could all get hit one after the other. it's a never ending cycle.
