I think most of us understand the general reason a company implements a Fair Usage policy.

But in their Terms, they usually have a statement that essentially says that in addition to Terminating the user account, they can also charge extra for the so called Fair Use violations. I don't like surprise charges.

GeoSIM Fair Use section says: "Geodesa reserves the right to monitor usage, to apply call charges and/or withdraw the service from any SIMcard ... "

They just have over broad requirements. They have no policy to warn a user of a potential violations. IE: a Notification and Cure provision. The ratios are a mystery. Is 49% vs. 51% a violation. Over what time period? I have been burned in the past by hidden requirements. What if they decide to charge a $2.00 a minute penalty on calls they consider violating Fair Usage rules?
