You aren't comparing like with like though. Providing bandwidth to a sever in a datacentre is vastly cheaper than the same amount of bandwidth over a fibre/coax network to individual homes.

This policy is simply because one high usage customer can require the same resources to support as dozens of users who do not serially download anything.

VM have a perfect right to choose who they sell their product to. Where they are wrong is in not making clear what that product really is because "unlimited downloads" it isn't.
