What hurts them is the users who take advantage of it. I am not defending
the carriers, just pointing out that some users will use their devices to
power their home or office networks. Using bit torrent sites or stream
movies to home theater systems. The system can support a vast many users
who do normal day to day stuff like browsing the web, emailing, twitter,
google+, normal stuff. But if a lot of people start dong streaming movies
or dowloaing large files this puts a hurt on the thruput on the system.
Each cell tower has so much capacity. Thats not only the number of users
but the overall bandwidth available at that given time.
I think the carriers are using the excuse of the few bandwidth hogs to
punish the rest of the users and tier plans to make more money.
I would like to consider my self an average user or slightly above. The
most i have ever used in a given month was between 4-5 gigs.
But when i read forums and see people bragging about 20+ gigs, you bet
those are the people that need to be throttled. Wireless devices are being
upgraded on a yearly basis while the network infrastructure is being
updated every 3-5 years. Someone chime in on that with some better info.
