Who said anything about any potential speed drop affecting billing in any way?
The BT approach will drop customers to I think 128kbps for the rest of the month, no change of pricing, you've had what you paid for now you get what you are given for the rest of the charging period.

In fact no operator that's following this approach will give people discounts, that's like saying 'here have your 3Mbps 40GB, then when you're done have an unmetered 300k / 1Mbit / whatever for the rest of the month, get your 40GB done quickly enough and save a packet!' hrmmm nah.
