That would be a valid argument if they defined "excessive" based on infrastructure limits rather than a demand curve and market research.

All prices are based on “demand curve and market research” so I’m not sure what your point is.

My point from the start has been that ISPs put data caps and overage charges in place to make extra money, not to protect their infrastructure.
