I agree to a certain degree. The customers they lose will then be paid for by the unfortunate customers that are forced to stay. ISPs will always figure out formulas that will elevate your price...your price will never decline!
EXACTLY!

this is why bill per byte will raise prices for most people, whether theyre the top 5% or not. bill per byte won't lower prices for people that dont use "excessive" bandwidth, so if their bills do change, it will be going up.

the best idea would be to tell "hogs" to buy the premium packages, or even create a new top of the line package that offers little to no restrictions at a premium price.

just the idea of bill per byte is scarey...it's like prepaid cell phones all over again. i dont want to have to weigh the cost of downloading something i'm not sure i'll ever use/install/etc just b/c i have to pay for it. i'd rather pay a large monthly sum and download whatever the hell i want to download and not think twice about it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bullshit-19278282 Thu, 18 Oct 2007 01:10:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bullshit-19276126
Ask this of your ISP...since they claim that the 5% of people that are "bandwidth hogs" account for 50 % of usage, will the new proposed price structure include lower fees for the ones that use minimal bandwidth?

"ISPs, who have increasingly struggled with these users, first stopped advertising their services as unlimited (if they were smart)."

Bullshit... we're all already accustomed to the way the internet works now. They start cutting back or billing per byte, I can guarantee a backlash! Look at all the shit Comcast gets now... they start restricting or cutting back too much, people will start to find their own ways around it.
Oooh god forbid bandwidth hog leaves his ISP. I'm sure they would really hate for that to happen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bullshit-19276124 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 18:35:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Bullshit-19275883
