Bandwidth isn't cheap. But they should impose a traffic shaping policy to bring their users' transit levels in line with the fees they pay, rather than poking around into who is doing what on the network.

Disclosure: I built and run a small wireless ISP.

That's the curious thing. The users are paying more than enough to cover all costs, so there is no need for all this tomfoolery. I guess they have either have mentality or technical issues.
