that's where the 30gig or whatever monthly 'allowance' comes in. if they are downloading constantly with loads of connections to p2p or whatever so that they are downloading at a constant 10meg then once they exceed their monthly allowance, action will probably be taken against them - either they get their speed reduced or they are asked to leave or they are charged a premium to continue this level of useage.
