And by charging more for those who fit the profile of the top .1% of bandwidth users, they can fund further expansion of network capacity.
LOL. They don't want to expand network capacity. They want folks to pay more for less.

The problem here is that consumers pay an extremely bargain rate for the bandwidth they receive regardless of Cable/DSL/Satellite/WISP etc. and the ISP's can't turn a profit if they have to pay for premium rate bandwidth on their end with no ability to oversubscribe on the consumer's side. As the consumers start to utilize more and more of the bandwidth they have access to, the law of economics comes to bear. Either they will force you to pay significantly more for the same access, cut your access down considerably to match the price, or find a happy medium where you pay a rate somewhat in the ballpark of what the average user is consuming.

There is a joke in here somewhere about the busload of fat people showing up to the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.
