In order for you to "overutilize" your connection, there has to be an 
objective definition of "normal utilization" for you to violate, and a 
mechanism to measure your own usage against that.

Next time they tell you you're using too much, demand that they back 
that up with actual numbers.

(AT&T can go DIAF.  Easily the shittiest company I've ever had to do 
 business with.  And that list includes Comcast)
