If a small amount of folks who use a lot of bandwidth causes others to have unsatisfactory internet speeds is sort of unfair too. I
still blame AT&T though. Don't sell what you can't deliver. Kind of like over booking a flight.
I also guess that's why all those companies with unlimited data plans for cell phones also now have to impose limits. Hook people in, get them addicted and then slowly start charging them more for it.
