"As their costs go up, your costs go up" - great, let them charge for bandwidth then. Actually, incoming bandwidth to a hosting provider is free, because basically every interconnection on the Internet is billed based on the dominant direction of traffic. It's really important that you do not preemptively make assumptions about other people's business models in a way that impacts your own. If they have a problem with it, let them tell you. Capitalism is a symmetric game (played asymmetrically). If your hosting provider thought something they did would increase your costs, do you think they'd refrain from doing it?
