Do you look at your electric meter or your water meter daily? The concept of monitoring your bandwidth usage and paying for usage is no different. If customers are concerned about maintaining costs for electricity, water, broadband, cell phones, ATM transactions, etc., they will take appropriate action.
What would you do if after using x kilowatts of electricity your charge/ kilowatt goes up by 100% I'll be you will be keeping a close eye on your meter.
