No one said anything about reading between the lines. One doesn't 
have to be aware of a loophole or of their abuse their of.

Where was their ad about setting up high use servers and the like? 
That's what the discussion was about. Servers that need gigs per 
hour.

The way it was described is that they are charging the people who
have high-usage servers running considerably more. If they don't 
find an effective system to control the usage of these servers you
could see $100 a month flat rates. Do you think it's like a pyramid 
scheme where there are always enough low-usage people signing up
to keep the system profitable as a whole?  

They messed up by allowing high-bandwidth servers in the first place. It 
worked at first obviously. But as the service grew the usage of a few seems
to have outstripped the addition of new customers, the pyramid began to
collaspe. they are trying to shore it up. 

In an ideal world, people wouldn't try to take all they could and be
respectful of the other people using the service by putting large 
bandwidth consuming servers on an appropiate service. In this case
people could go on unlimited running small servers and the like, the
ideal home service you seem to have had. But the abuses of the few
have clearly ruined it.
