I thought Ross made it clear he represents/sells the service in question.

Mike, you might think it's common but lots of other carriers don't have this clause !
The fact that there are rules written down in the terms state that there are rules. It's posted here that they are flexible about that, but legally a statement like that does not mean anything as they can shut you down based on their terms.
My point is that they should be clear as fair use means something for you and might mean something different for me. Some provider do have limits so write them down and don't say you are flexible about these limits because that means that you give the impression there are other limits. Just as simple as that.
In this thread there is written down a limit which according to the supplier is not really a limit, at least he gives that impression. Also the limit is unclear about the time period in which they measure this limit.
I like companies that are clear about terms and limits. As a user you know what the limit is (if there is any) and there is no dicussion.
Being unclear will only give reason for a discussion, like now
As for Ross making it clear he represents/sells the serivce yes he does but as I said when he would post another thread or now in this thread no one than knows he is a supplier unless they read all his posts.
I keep repeating myself, it should be clear to everyone who is a user and who is a supplier. Users should not have to read every post from a user to find out he is a supplier. Either his/her username should have part of his companyname or in his/her signature there should be a reference to the company. This is easy and makes clear to everyone who is who.
Some examples, I have seen a username cloud9, easyroam, yackie and so on. It's clear that these users are suppliers.
