>> you could always detect metered ISPs and do something different for those

I didn't downvote, but this isn't possible for nearly all users. Whether or not you are metered isn't per-ISP, it depends on your monthly plan with the ISP. Most ISPs serve the majority of their users on metered, with some users paying for the high-end unmetered plans. There is no way to know whether a particular user is metered or unmetered.
