Pardon me but it is not nice of you to describe your customers in this way. Your policies should give you a way to deal with the problem; if you want to have unlimited access (which I gather is the trend in the USA; we have quite a high amount of time-charging here in Oz), you should have advertised time limits per day or per call and you should enforce them. You should not get on your soapbox on a mailing list about it.
