Why does data cost more money?

I just want to know why a higher monthly allowance would cost more money. It shouldn't cost the ISP more money... right? So why charge more?

Because people will pay more.

Shop around. Not just price, but also good service reputation.

Because more data means they need more fibre, more routers, have to pay upstream providers for more traffic, and a whole lot of other stuff.
