You can't blame the end users of a service who use it as advertised.

We all know that broadband costs are as low as they are because of contention and contention means there is the possibility of one user affecting the service of others.
Most, if not all, ISPs also have within their T&Cs statements about transfer and storage of copyright material. Most heavy users could be terminated because of breach of this and also possibly face criminal charges.
Let's face it, every ISP can get rid of cutomers it does not want quite easily and the user can do nothing about it. The more ISPs that cap users, the faster other ISPs will do the same.
