The difficulty with the "it's only going to impact 2% of the customers" argument is that, in the absence of usage caps, average use by everyone rises slowly as they shift habits. It's a virtuous cycle from the macro perspective, but less so from the provider perspective where it means a continuing cycle of steady capital investment to meet growing need.
