Smart people know you can't offer unlimited.  If I put an MP3 site on
your system because you advertise unlimited, and you're colocating with
a company that costs you only $300 per hundred gigabytes, I can still
cost you $300 a day.  And if youre getting those hundred gigabytes of
transfer at $100, I can still cost you $3,000 a month.

If you're buying bandwidth it's even worse.  One MP3 site can easily
close down a T-1, which costs you in the neighborhood of $1,000 to
$1,500 a month.  And in the real world, it can easily happen.

So since everyone knows you can't really offer unlimited, at best you're
lying.

So people will shy away from you.
