per gb rate

Companies that decide to go this route, should just charge a flat rate per GB. The overage charge is completely rediculous. Maybe a flat rate for the connection, then $0.20 a gigabyte after that.
Atleast then when you only use 8-10gb one month you could save money. That or start offering roll-over gigabytes.
If i use 20 gig last month, then i could effectively use 80 this month and break even.

That'd be the only two situations where i'd accept a cap like this if there was an alternative. Im not really into downloading heavy, but there is the occasional month i would break a 50gig cap, and other months only 6-8gig.
So as far as my logic takes me, I would expect some money back or savings for transfering less than the cap.
Seems easier to just charge a FAIR, flat rate per GB though.
But then that would run off all the people on the fence thinking about switching from dialup, if there was no set price. Not sure the system in place will do any different though.
