2 things: first of all, the "you need to use IE, to use this website, your browser is unsupported" message, is in fact much clearer on the bank site than the subtle difference in name for "mobile", and ambiguous term at best. I don't understand why one case of user string subversion is different than another, even if the clearness of terms is equal.
Second, what is the real line between say a macbook air or other keyboarded computer and an ipad or galaxy table or kindle fire or... they all run operating systems that let me use more or less the same software and access the same network resources.
The combination is really the difficult part for me, given I can do the same things - look at the same sites, get the same utility, and otherwise use the same bandwidth in both cases, particularly when usb tethering is a real option giving me the same deal but now without the act you are calling fraud, how is it even reasonable to think that the "mobile" case is other than a discount for some magic words?
Reasonable people all understand that the reason why an ISP would offer a lower rate to phone users is the anticipation that either phone users would use the service less, or that users who have only phones and not computers are less interested in paying a premium for Internet access.
