this isn't some arbitrary moral or value judgment.  this is just straight
economics of subscription services.

- if even 10% of users used 250GB, prices would go through the roof
- you can only use 250GB if you are doing something illegal or stupid

if you think pointing these two facts out is out of line, then i guess i am
out of line.

if you dispute these facts, then please share.

Simple.

Remember "folks like you are a big reason why ISPs have to charge a
bunch for the rest of us"?

That's why.  Just because you aren't using the bandwidth you're
entitled to doesn't mean the rest of us aren't.  And people who are
using the bandwidth aren't necessarily pirates or porn kiddies.
