ISP's reflect the philosophy of the Greedy Old Pig Party.
I cannot understand why customers will accept a pricing philosophy that does not give the customer a way of determining the amount of data that will be downloaded to their browser when accessing a web site or a detailed description of the amount of data downloaded by each website accessed.
Furthermore companies that bill for usage normally provide the customer with a detailed bill showing when and how the usage took place.
I can download a report from my land line or cellular company with a detail description of the numbers called and the duration of each connection. I am sure that the Cable Television Companies provide each customer with a detailed listing of pay per view programming viewed through their subscriber terminal (Digital Box).
I believe that the reason that the cable television ISP's do not have a system in place to provide detailed usage history to customers, is that it would cost to much to develop such a system. With the history of how the inaccurate the Cable ISP are at providing accurate IP addresses, when served with subpoenas related to piracy issues, how can a customer be sure that the amount of data the ISP claims was downloaded is accurate.
Until some State Attorney General sues the a Cable Company to force them to disclose the source and duration of downloaded data, consumers will continue to be treated like mushrooms and fed bull feces by the CATV ISP's.
Any customer that subscribes to broadband service from a company that imposes or is planning to impose caps has a responsibility to write their public servants and complain about the lack of transparency in these billing systems.
