Because they want to sell you 3Tb of bandwidth but you only use 2Gb, and they want you to pay extra for that 2Gb to not be slow - despite that you already paid for it to be a set speed.
There's no growth left selling bandwidth. So they need to get growth by being anti-consumer.

- imtringued 5y agoIt's almost like selling a 3TB SSD with only 500GB capacity but it dramatically throttles down once you go past 400GB so that it is impossible to fill it up to 3TB in any reasonable time frame. To hide the scam, they want to prevent your computer from running any software that would need the whole 3TB.
