Another reason is bandwidth budgeting. The host has to buy and configure
enough bandwidth to cover what their customers are using. Back in the mid
1990s when I did hosting and more recently as a server admin for a web host,
we would buy bandwidth and set up equipment based on expected usage.
If someone with a 100GB/month account was suddenly doing 250GB/day
it shot all our planning to hell and caused slowness for neighboring servers
hooked up to the sme equipment. In order to best serve you and other
webmasters, the host wants to encoourage you to plan for what you'll use
rather than suddenly using up bandwidth that has been sold to other webmasters.
