Sure you have to look at the whole pricutre, the amount of call you make, receive and this will tell what is the best for you in the end.

Untill now fair use was not an issue but all of a sudden it was there. It's now hidden in terms and yes fair use is a problem. As you don't know what limits or rules are for fair use they can disconnect you whenever they want.
I don't care if big companies of whoever have it in their terms, it sucks. Just be honest and open and specify the limit, ratio. Tell your customers if you warn them and give them x days before they are shutdown.

So yes you can bang on fairuse because it's simply a tool to shut you down, take your money, (no refund under fair use) and they are the judge and you don't know the rules.

If you wan't to deal with those companies it's up to you. I prefer not to.
If it were up to me, I'd set the ratio to whatever it should be, clearly specify it, then have it enforced automatically after certain conditions are met (like warnings for instance). This can be a far fairer way to solve the problem because if the fair-use rules are enforced at the distributor/carrier's discretion, some others may get more leniency than others.
