Hey Sull, First of all, thanks :)
As far as professional / premium accounts, we'll be doing them soon, but they're not our chief focus at the moment -- right now we're very much concentrating on building the back-end business side of things along with our infrastructure. Pro accounts are coming, though. As for throughput, we're dedicated to having plenty of throughput for everyone, and we have no intention of limiting individual throughput. I can tell you that we're getting an additional dedicated line for use in serving videos, and that based on current usage it'll give us 150% of our required bandwidth.
