I am not apposed to a company making money either -but

how much is enough? when does it end? Are we the people not paying enough thru the nose for everything in our friggin lives as it is? If they wanted metering it should have started ten years ago, not now when most everyone has high speed internet, and they feel the need for greed, all of a sudden, what? They feel like nickel & dimeing the people even further? enough is enough this should be a dead issue.

metered can save some user money if it is fairly used as a new tier rather then forced upon us all...
let's say 4.99 for 768Kbps for up to 1gb
9.99 for 1.5mbps for up to 2gbps
anything over is 1 dollar per gigabyte
This is for user who just want to surf the internet and don't do any video content
That's my way of managing metered bandwidth
not this BS of changing unlimited tier to metered
14.99 at 3.0mbps capped at 3gb
24.99 at 5.ompbs capped at 5gb
24.99 at 768kbps unlimited, you're paying more no meter and a lot slower ^_^
These lousy meterd bandwidth are meant for dialup user who like faster surfing experience
It isn't for the average user who uses a lot of bandwidth

The carriers are simply implementing the same policies they see coming out of Washingto DC. Policy via crisis; you come up with a doomsday scenario where something (the network) will come apart (because of bandwidth hogs)unless drastic changes are made (to your contract). " It will be painful and you'll have to pay a lttle more" seems to be the theme these days, whether its a bank, a broadband carrier, a city gov't, or your local Dominos. This has all been brought about by people living beyond thier means, a concept that was discarded with cheap credit. It's actually quite sad....
