What does it matter? They're not going to use up all the internet or something dumb like that. If there was a (ideally outside party) study demonstrating that it was actually impeding other people's ability to use the network, then I could agree that it's a reasonable move. Until then, it's just another example of greed at the expense of the consumers.
The Internet is reliant on instantaneous throughput, not aggregate data transferred over a period of time. It should be irrelevant how much data someone uses. You'd probably have to be in the multi-terabyte range to have a reasonable argument that you're congesting the network, as that would be constant transfer at high speeds.
Oh I'm not blaming the users in any way, if they are paying for unlimited data then they should certainly get it. I just fail to understand how someone can use that much data on their phone. I'm on a 50 gig plan and the maximum I've managed to use is 22 gigs.
I agree entirely with what you are saying, I just don't understand how someone can use that much data.
