Now seeing how they're putting in overhead for some EXPENSIVE equipment and I'm talking orders of magnitude over core routers and fiber that's already paid for(Trunks not build out), oh and profit.

This shows that $1.50 per gig is gouging the customer.

I could live with ten cents a gig for a lot of different applications. I feel that's a fair price if we have to adopt a metered approach. I also would like to see QOS put on the network that priortizes HTTP/EMAIl/SSH and a few other things and marks downloads as bulk.
