Re: If they would just be reasonable about it........ said by Camelot One:Everyone knows the overages shouldn't cost as much as they do. I'm not a fan of caps, but I do see that in certain cases there is a need for them. They are doing this to make more money off of the people who use more bandwidth. Fine. But be reasonable about it. Limit the overage charges to say, 200% of their cost per GB. (which is still an insane profit margin) I'd settle for a 1000% markup over their costs for bandwidth. I'd be willing to pay 10 times what it costs a cable giant to provide and maintain each GB of transferred data. And I would even pay by the GB from zero to whatever they can handle.
Even with a minimum payment of $10 each month to go along with my "pay-only-for-what-you-use" plan, just about everyone would see lower bills each month with this payment scheme.
If they want to go the metered billing route, lets do it in earnest. You can only get so much juice from a lemon. |
