If it is about fairness.......

We always hear the talk about fairness and how people should be paying for what they use. That the person who uses the internet a couple of times a week is supporting the person who uses the internet a couple of times a day.

If the ISP's want internet customers to pay like electrical customers do, then why not go to true metered billing? Start charging 30 cents an hour from the time the persons computer connects to the internet. This way it would be fair all the way around. There won't be a need to charge huge overage fees since your actually paying for what you use.

No one has answered the question why the ISP's won't go to true metered billing if it's all about fairness or so that 1% won't overuse the system. If going to metered billing is all about getting rid of bandwidth hogs, then why are ISP's offering high bandwidth content? The ISP's are doing the total opposite of what they intended to do.

With metered billing, they just shifted there customers around. Now the people who use more will be paying for the people who use less.
