Re: Great, More Ammo For The Cap Arguments said by Dogfather:Why are those the only two choices. The cost of bandwidth on a unit basis is coming down which is why the data services divisions of companies like AT&T are seeing INCREASES in margins despite these increases in traffic and despite not having caps. These providers needing to cap is a myth. It is true. As a small ISP, I can tell bandwidth is on the dirt cheap. I won't comment on other ISP prices, they are surely getting a better deal than ours, but basically for each customer, for every dollar we spend on bandwidth, customers pay $8. So that means Grandma who checks her e-mail and Johnny File Share who burns up his bandwidth 24/7 on BitTorrent still puts us quite ahead each month. That means we can invest more in increasing coverage area and keeping up with bandwidth needs of the customer. -- Fight NebuAD and the like: Click Here to pollute their data |
