Companies like Ting are being sold bandwidth by the big cell companies. If those companies are running out of bandwidth, how can they sell it to small companies?
I am probably wrong here but I think the only bandwidth hog is the one that uses more bandwidth than they pay for. If they are on an unlimited (all you can eat) plan, they are not bandwidth hogs (IMHO). They are using what they pay for. The large cell companies don't like that because they see profit going down the drain.
