What is strange about that? ISPs sold you service with a certain usage model in mind( light usage, web browsing and email.) As soon as a different heavier usage model they hadn't planed for became popular(streaming video) they had to react. They reacted in the way that provided them the most profit. Certainly understandable if somewhat disappointing.

It is like everyone with a gym membership started showing up at the same time.
