And if I've paid for 5 GB, but use only a few MB, who gets the other 4+ GB?

Yes, my money duly paid for; and rendered useless by a draconian TOS. And not a criminal act, at worst a civil action.

If someone uses “many GB”, they should be charged for many GB, at a rate that is consistent with the real cost of bandwidth. In the US that’s about $10 (or a bit more) per GB. But don’t charge me for 5 GB, and then impose artificial rules that limit me to a “few MB”.

Is it irresponsible to insist on value for my money?
