These are people running businesses and families with children. If
memory serves, one child averages about 20GB/month for educational
purposes. And yes, there are typically many people using a single ISP
account. Not just family, but employees as well. No, employees can't use
mobiles; there's rarely service. No, I doubt that any of them would be
torrenting or using video unnecessarily. At $10/GB that's not affordable.
