If I was an ISP I would do something like this...
1GB CAP for lowest Tier
2GB CAP for next higher
3gb cap for next higher
4gb etc and higher...
1 dollar per GB is awesome...
The ISP doesn't pay per GB but per megabit
I heard it was 4-5 dollar per megabit

24.99 for lowest tier at 768k
20gb usage.... tackled 19.00 = a total of
43.99
an extra profits of 19.00
AWESOME :D
Uh, you're doing it wrong. ISPs and co-location customers are typically billed either on a weekly average or a 95th percentile utilization of a bandwidth of x Mb/s. They can easily go through hundreds of GB a month and not exceed their allotment of bandwidth OVER TIME (the unit measure is Mb/s where "s" is seconds). A cap works off of an *ABSOLUTE* counter wherein after one exceeds that absolute cap of GB, either an alternate (read: SLOW) traffic shaping plan is applied to that user or they get billed for overages. In other words, the "OVER TIME" bit is one whole month for the poor residential cap victim, GB/m. That's a BIG difference.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OK-What-about-Att-22293475 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 07:53:45 EDT Re: OK> What about At&t? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OK-What-about-Att-22289192 said by jadebangle :

Yet, At&t is going ahead with their plans.. :uhh:

Here's why TW was getting all the heat

Comcast 250 GB cap all tiers
Charter 15 Mbps and under 100 GB, 16-25 mbps 250 GB, 26 Mbps and over no cap
At&t caps 20,40,60,80 and 150 GB.
TW 5,10,20,40 GB.

at&t caps are a joke too but at least they start out with 20 GB not 5.
But road runner took it to the next step they should be praised not insulted!!!

Nope, AT&T. I know AT&T has my area (Winston-Salem, parts of High-Point and all of Greensboro), the majority of Charlotte, and the RDU area. Research Triangle Park is Verizon for some weird reason, but no FiOS yet. AT&T is also Ashville I believe. Embarq is mainly in the rural areas.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OK-What-about-Att-22287097 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:04:20 EDT Re: OK> What about At&t? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OK-What-about-Att-22287026 said by S_engineer:

Here's my feeling on the anti-muni bills: They do need to pass one, but it should be very simple.

Any municipality that feels the need to build out its own network should be allowed to do so, without restriction from selling service to residents. However, any municipality that chooses to build its own network must give up all local regulatory power over the telcos and cablecos regarding cost controls and service level requirements (e.g. local franchise agreements).

Suppose a town were to build a fiber network and operate it as a common carrier--operate the physical plant and resell the service to AT&T/TWC/whoever. Could such a model fly?

The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.

TWC = boiling water
AT&T = slowly heating it

Also, is AT&T in that market ? I know they're planning it for TX and Reno, NV.
