Actually, there are upstream costs for bandwidth use (we had this discussion in off topic about the 250GB comcrap caps) that Sprint pays, those bits are not free to ship. As in most broadband systems, the price reflects a much lower then 100% usage model. Perhaps as low as a couple % per sub. So 5-10% of subs using a lot more then that can indeed be a problem.
