As long as the data downloaded/uploaded and the internet activity is not illegal then unlimited would stand fair usage normally would cover you for illegal activity.

If you didn't mean it, why did you sell it as such? Fair use policies are bogus IMHO.

The customer is smashing the service, 100% of the time, running it at at the full 19-20Mbps, 24/7, every single day, including weekends. This is resulting in 5-6TB of internet data that they are transferring through us, and our IP transit upstream, which is obviously costing us a fair chunk in IP transit costs. We haven't said anything to the customer, but I'm curious to see what other people would consider "fair use" of an business grade, unlimited Internet service. We already peer with Megaport and IX-Australia so we try to minimise our IP transit costs as much as possible, but this traffic is going directly Telstra, and we are loosing out on this particular customer. Do we just suck it up, or would you increase the customers monthly fee, throttle them, etc? Thoughts here would be appreciated.
