I guess companies will now always have to assume their customers will abuse whatever privileges they are allowed, and act accordingly.
"Abuse" or "Use"

Who decides that someone downloading 500gb in a month is abusing? For that matter, would it still be considered abuse a year from now? For that matter, with 25mb and 100mb lines becoming more prevalent, what do ISPs expect to be seeing? I'm sure they're hoping people will pay for a 100mb line and use it to download 5gb/month, but that's really not going to be the norm even on a 5mb line like mine.

Also, please keep legal/illegal out of the picture when you argue with me. People downloading truckloads of illegal content should be receiving a completely different letter in the mail rather than a "You're downloading too much" notice. I know a lot of gut instinct is to say "Stop downloading pr0n, pervert" but it sounds to me just like average forum troll saying "They're just levelling those characters to sell them on Ebay."
