21. Completely dishonest
A the net is constantly evolving and advertising is becoming ever more prevalent. Those adds are increasingly chewing up more and more bandwith.

the funny thing is once again we have only our own greed to blame for this.

"Our approach is based on customers' feedback," said Mark Siegel, spokesman for AT&T. "They told us that the people who use the most should pay more, and they also told us we should make it easy for them to track their usage. We think our approach addresses these concerns."

Notice they aren't lowering peoples bills that stay under the cap they are just charging people who hit it more, So the customers basically said hey your making a ton of cash selling us internet connectivity but we hate the idea that someone is using it more than we are so make more money off those folks they deserve it.

Americans are fuckwits with their keep up with the joneses mentality.
