"This looks like a good theoretical point, but I don't see how it holds in practice. What would be practical examples of this happening?"
The example given in my original blog post:
"the more you upload, the more we throttle you. The little users don't bother us and the big users eventually just go away"

Wouldn't you get more peace of mind knowing that your provider was working hard to support and enable your use-case ?

Perhaps I'm naive, but usually I believe they do that either way. If I'm not happy, I'll go to another provider, but so far I didn't really have bad experience with "unlimited" services.
