said by Xela19115:Honestly I think the better model would have been to set a certain flat per byte rate and charge users for bandwidth used vs. speed and byte cap price plans. Something more in line with the way electricity is sold. I pay for kWh I use and electric company does not limit me how much I can use or how fast the electrons flow. I limit myself by making sure I do not leave lights on everywhere 24/7. That way the responsibility would be on a customer to manage his/her bandwidth usage.
The Internet providers, like Comcast, should give just provide the fastest possible connection technically possible and just charge per byte used. Heavy bandwidth users will pay more and some if not most will pay less. That way no one will subsidize others and nobody will have to be punished for a few bad apples.
With electricity(around here) you play less per KWh after a certain amount.
