Nothing wrong with it.
Until that same customer base ends up with one of the posts from that fence up their "asset".

While this is a classic case of "what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away", it doesn't make it a good business practice. In fact, it shows a rather large disdain for customers, who are treated the same way most monopolies treat any captive audience.

The real reason for this is they are trying to drive off the heavy users so they can bilk granny out of an additional $30+ a month to just get email, surf the soap opera message boards and maybe look a the occasional picture of the grandkids, which may 10-20 megabytes a month. They don't want heavy giga-users and would be real happy if they all went away.
