It's all a little bit silly.

Everyone knows 100TB can't afford you to use the included bandwidth.

When you start actually using your bandwidth then you cut into their profits and they'll want to get rid of you.

When you start actually using the bandwidth _and_ undercut their own CDN using their _resold_ infrastructure, then they're losing out twice.

It's important to remember that UK2 = OnApp/UK2/Midphase/VPS.NET/100TB/Hosting Services Inc/etc/etc. UK2 doesn't own much infrastructure, they're just a reseller and overseller.

The way I see it is, if UK2 wants to fuck customers out of the service that UK2 advertised and the customers paid for, the customers are welcome to fuck right back.
It's just like insurance, you are required to have it but when you need it and have to use it the insurance company jacks up the price from that point on.
It's a little bit worse than that. Most insurances will at least pay up and then jack up the price. 100tb.com is not paying up (as in: providing service), instead they canceled the contract, apparently on short notice.
