Re: In Favor Of By-The-Byte Pricing I as you have meter voip but I am not so sure about the metered broadband.
1) I can measure my voip use. Not many users know how to measure their broadband usage. I would not trust the ISP to measure it correctly would you?
2) I can control my voip use. I can limit my calls, hang-up and block with caller id etc. How do you block ads, spam and other junk you do not want? I block email spam but that is after it reaches my server. I do not want to pay bandwidth for spam. Do we think ISP will do a good job of blocking spam?
I have lot of incoming port scan from by ISP network. I do not know if it is the ISP who scan me or their user who are try to hack my network but I do not want to pay for those bytes. Can you imagine the bill of a DoS attach?
3) Some ISP sent updates to the modem surprisingly often like every night why should I pay for that or Microsoft bloated updates. I do not want to pay for their lazy inefficient patch process.
Metered broadband service will only come when I can control it. I do not see enough control today.
I would sign up if all ads and virus and other junk was gone but that will unfortunately never happen. |
