said by rdstoll:I've said before that I think the industry has to move to a per MB business model. It just does not make any sense that casual users of Comcast HSI pay the same amount as heavy user.
You really think that will cure it?
Here is what will happen. Prices will remain the same for the standard hookup. As soon as you go over your limit, they get to charge you a per MB charge. This would only apply to those who go over the limit (which they would have to state.) Monthly prices stay the same and bandwidth hogs get to pay more. Only use it for email and light surfing? You will still pay the same per month (no discounts for you. Like cell phone plans. You get your free minutes and if you don't use them, you lose them (except Sprint and Cingular on SOME of their more expensive plans.)
