Ag, I don't think a few mybb hogs (and I'm not one of them btw) would do it.
Yeah - I only do about 150GB max per month

I may be wrong but I can only hope that they did what other ISP'S were not willing to do and realized they are going to have capacity issues and discontinued this option. Like I said only speculating here 
Ps. Im glad current customers are not affected and hope it does not change " Everything is awesome "

I use the bolt on only when my primary ISP capped account is running low or I have a big DL. I am guessing that last month I wouldn't have even got to 30 gigs and when I push it I am guessing not above 150gigs so hopefully there are quite a few people who do not abuse
I think it makes sense. If bolted with a fat pipe which is premium unshaped account it can be abused a lot. Uncapped bolt on with gig4gig can be shaped. So I guess you need to see it from their side as well unless you wanted a really awesome account.
gig4gig + bolt on is still a VERY good deal.
Fat pipe + bolt on is premium unshaped bandwidth 24/7 @ line speed. So awesome and its not even expensive. Who needs business uncapped....

True, its nice not having to get hold of support because streaming is perma buffering or downloads are shapped into the ground 
In the three and a half months I have been with them I have only contacted them once and that was to enable the bolt on, compared to my last ISP I was mailing twice a week for a new account.
