This seems quite reasonable, and therefore people will complain a lot about it.

This is a fairly sane approach to dealing with bandwidth hogs. Personally, I’d prefer a scaling approach: the more bandwidth you use, the lower priority your packets get. At slack times, you can have full speed whereas during the busiest times, the people with more acute needs get preference.

Some use around 10GB per _week_. Or more.

There’s a social understanding that you don’t abuse “all you can eat” buffets. People who justify such abuse are twits.
