Earlier this week we noted how customers on "unlimited" FiOS connections have been getting this warning from Verizon, informing them they're violating their terms of service by consuming an "excessive" amount of bandwidth. If usage isn't curtailed, the notice warns, customers will see their accounts terminated within two months.
Verizon obviously wants these extremely heavy users (who consume multiple terabytes per month) to migrate to more expensive business-class connections.
The problem is that Verizon refuses to define what "excessive" is, or what level of consumption is actually acceptable. They've also stated on several occasions that there is absolutely no limit and that FiOS "doesn't cap usage in any way."
I reached to to Verizon to try and get a handle on precisely what "excessive" means, and the company made it very clear we're talking about a very small number of overall customers the company would prefer to see move to business-class.
