In all fairness AWS will charge you something like $90 for 1TB of traffic per month. I am all for cheap unlimited data plans but I can see why an ISP would create tiers of service and charge a premium to multi-terabyte users (and why non multi-terabyte users shouldn't pay for multi-terabyte users).

It's not a good comparision, AWS charges this to lock AWS users into their ecosystem. It's free from the internet into AWS and extremely expensive out to the internet. This is of course by design to make sure you can't have some services outside AWS.
