The autobahn also has no general speed limit. That does not mean you are welcome to go 300 km/h all the time.
Unfortunately some peoples stupidity makes it necessary to impose fixed rules for everyone.
- cypress66 4y agoSorry but that's a really bad analogy. Autobahn speed limit is related to safety and a lot of factors. Here it's simply a matter of money. If more than 200TB/month triggers an angry email, then just state they have a limit of 200TB instead of stating unlimited. It's not so complex.

They take issue with sustained saturation over a long period of time. > It's not so complex. Can you imagine how complex it would be to publish a schedule of every single consideration? They certainly won't take issue with 250TB of internal traffic. So now they need to start differentiating egress. Would they take issue with 250TB of ingress? It's less likely, but they would probably have higher tolerance for that. So now you have another schedule. What about cross-datacenter traffic? Boom, another policy. Have you seen AWS bandwidth pricing? How in the world is that less complex than just addressing abuse on a case-by-case basis.
