That could work, but I'm guessing often this might not be the account owner (kids?) racking up the bandwidth.

All the more reason to notify the bill payer, and not the current surfer/downloader.

Doesn't matter; it's the account owner who is responsible for it.

All the more reason not to have hard caps on bandwidth.
