The issue I have with this type of service is that although we understand the need to remove network congestion caused by a very minute group of heavy users, it doesn't really solve the problem...

(1) They're still heavy users for that portion of the month when they have 2GB or 10GB or whatever of full access data (2) When they're using non-peak hours or less populated towers they're still throttled even though there is no service impact

A better service would be an aggressive QoS that prioritizes users who haven't used their fair share of the network and allows those heavy hitters to wreck havok when they're up streaming 1080p videos at 4AM.
