I agree that transparency is the best policy. I also suspect that most businesses use thrive on the peak rate and only the media users or game players require the bulk. Therefore, advertising a high peak reflects much usage. This is not to say that hiding the net limit is good, but only that the customers Lariat loses may actually be doing the best for themselves.
