Re: Someone has to pay

Pay per bit? Hmmm.. maybe in some fantasy alternate reality. If the pay per bit model is so good, why don't ISP's use it right now? I mean, I download over 500GB/month, yet I STILL only pay 35.00/month. I must be an EVIL person, using that much bandwidth. It's got to be all illegal stuff to!

As I say, prove it. The pay per bit model will never fly. I already pay per bit. I PAY for a 10mb/10mb connection to the internet. How I choose to use that pipe that I pay for is my decision.

The pay per bit isn't used because you're still in the minority; even by consuming such huge amounts of data you're still not eating a too much important percentage of all bandwidth used by all users combined. But, the day you'll be the average or close to it ISPs won't have other choice than to either charge you more for an unlimited access or charge you per bit to not hurt users still downloading few gigabytes per month.
