I see a problem

The problem I see is the overselling that I have seen reported with providers, and specifically Comcast.
Since they know some/most people are not going to use what is available, they can sell/add more people to a node, similar to restaurants/airlines deliberately overbooking because they expect no-shows.

Now if things go to a price structure based on consumption, then they will have to implement it as some kind of price increase/add on, otherwise the money they now gather from the "no-shows" will disappear, if the new rates truly reflect an actual usage and are not a usage-penalty add-on.

This could easily become another way to grab more money without any service added. But it is a great idea if it really does lower prices for the minimum users, I'm not holding my breath....
