If we talk about end-user not business user, ISP assume 95th% load will
be minimal so therefore it allow them to sell 100mbit for like 20-30$,
while real price of it much higher.
If its big ISP they usually don't care, as there always be downloaders
who saturate their link to 90% most time, but compare to most of other
users in their net, this will be not noticeable. If its just smallish
ISP things get harder for it.

If you actually pay per bit, true or have some kind "fair usage"
unlimited plan.

If you talk about wired connection, this thing almost non-existing here.
Only apply to wireless 3G/4G ISPs with limited bits and then reduced
service.

Some even come up with idea two separate /64 make things easier :-D,
instead just put at least round /60
