I agree. What do you think about fair use policies? Things like having 250GB/Month kind of limits.

The internet infrastructure was built with certain utilization and speed in mind. Instead of owning up to the fact that it’s not as good as it used to be, these companies are selling quality of service products. Otherwise it’s too much of a publicity hit if they admit it.

I'm in favor of things that ultimately benefit the consumer.

"Unlimited" plans have always irked the hell out of me, because they rarely are.

I think capped totals (ideally without overage charges and with slow-lane bandwidth until reset) are perfectly fine.

But I'm 100% against named exclusions that don't count against a cap -- that's unfairly preferring an existing incumbent, and doesn't benefit the consumer in the larger/competition sense.
