Agree.
Especially because sometimes a provider with a lower price per megabyte can turn out to be a bad deal if the rounding is horrible. Especially for mobile application everything above 1k rounding is just a ripoff for the customers.
In germany the providers usually round to 100k now. Check your emails on the move 10 times a day and you use up 1MB of data per day. Effectively you maybe transmitted 25 or 50kbyte during this day...
