| Tit for tat... There should also be a credit then for each GB under the 50 threshhold. 
Anyway, $2.95 is punitive... clearly meant to curtail online activity, not just recover costs, etc. They want those users to cancel and/or stop downloading. It's not about paying a "fair" share...
I'd bet at least 80% of the normal monthly fee per account goes for paying for things like advertising, tech support, admin/accounting, exec salaries, etc... there might be 15% left to pay for equipment investments (past and future)... the remaining 5% could go down for actual bandwidth.
Yeah... the numbers are pulled out of my nether orifice LOL! But, for a $50/month service cost, I get $2.50 per 50GB or 5 cents/GB.
So... someone downloading 600GB would owe $27.50 in surcharges.
Seems fair to me! |
