Microsoft announced yesterday that they plan to downgrade their various OneDrive storage offerings.
Office 365 Home, Personal and University customers are now limited to 1 TB of OneDrive storage instead of unlimited storage. The 100GB and 200GB OneDrive plans are discontinued. They will be replaced by a 50GB plan for $1.99 per month in early 2016. Free storage will be reduced from 15GB to 5GB for all free users. The camera roll bonus of 15GB will be discontinued.
Microsoft's reasoning for the OneDrive storage offering downgrades: "A small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average."

And the real question: why should that even matter?
For the simple reason that somebody doing that is reducing the quality of service for everybody else at that tower. Even that probably wouldn't be so bad except using that much data with an iPhone is very hard to do, even today, meaning they really went out of their way to pull that off. This happened long before LTE.
Of course, the real reason was profit driven.
Yep. That's why they were fined nearly a hundred million dollars.
