Re: Frontier Confirms Cap Plans It doesn't cost money to transfer data, but it does cost money to upgrade the network to handle more throughput. The average throughput on a normal network is increasing steadily.
5 GB is a really tiny cap. Unless the base service cost is also lowering a lot (read: to about $10), and the cost per gig over is small (50¢ at most), I don't see this flying with many customers. 50 GB is fine for my use, but I'm not on their network so it doesn't matter. |

Colorado Springs, CO | Nice when they pay in many cases less than 5 cents per gig. |

A gig is $.02 each. That's why my webhoster charges me if I go over. Frontier is a crooked ripoff.
