But new customers can't, after today.

If you don't want people to use their N megabit/second continuously,
don't sell it to them as "N megabit/second, always on". Honest
advertising is (at least nominally) a requirement, not an option.

See my initial question: who is still offering bandwidth cleanly, rather
than having a monthly capacity limit (usually hidden somewhere nice and
far away from the headline bitrate)? One answer, in five hours from now,
is "not Zen".
