| Too Many Variables Billing by the byte would introduce too many variables into the system that would end up costing ISP's and consumers time and money. I also wonder how a large network would deal with this, say a school or your average corporate workplace. Everything would have to be metered internally and compared to what the ISP claims at the end of each month. What a nightmare. I meter my bandwidth on my home network for just the sake of knowing. Most people don't do such a thing, or even know what that is. Charter is my ISP and it took them 5 trys just to get service to my house. I doubt they would even know where to begin metering bandwidth. |
