I agree. We are now living in a Terabyte world. Providers need to get with it.

Not everyone has, or can have, a fat pipe straight into a terabyte drive.
Sometimes I work by cellular data. Don’t silently start sucking vast amounts thru a low capacity pipe I’m paying dearly for.

LOL! Controlling bandwidth is how providers make money now. They aren’t going to give it away for free. I’m on an unlimited data plan and the provider has been trying for the last 18 months to get me to switch to a limited plan. They have offered me hundreds of dollars in rebates and free services, plus free computers, tablets, and phones if I would switch. They wouldn’t be doing that if they couldn’t make it up several times over.
