This "power user" thing is something I've never heard anyone in the
business speak of, so I have no idea why you would get bumped. If you
are not breaking the TOS agreement, ISPs don't care a rat's rear end how
much traffic you generate. You buy a pipe from the ISP and you have
every right to fill it if you can.

Yes, and the ISP has the right to simply stop offering you service as well.

BTW, the same thing happens with cell phone usage... many plans now have
'unlimited minutes,' but in actuality your usage is tracked and people who
use far, FAR more minutes than the average are usually sent warnings letters
or politely told that the provider no longer wishes to offer them service.
