Yeah, that would be an option. But IMO the biggest downside would be that they charge for overages instead of throttling. If I'm working on a hobby project that involves uploading data, and something gets into an unexpected state, it's easy to imagine it transferring tens of GB in a matter of hours. In that event, I'd rather have it restricted to dialup speed (which is still enough to transfer 20GB/month) than get hit with hundreds of dollars in bandwidth charges overnight.
