Re: Metered Billing Has Its Place

said by RARPSL:

You are confusing the speed that the user can move data with the volume of data that they can move. A higher speed tier has nothing to do with how much data you can move - Only how long it will take you to move it. Unless you want to move more data then a slow tier can handle if used 24/7, all switching to a faster tier does is decrease the amount of time it takes to move the same amount of data.
I don't see that I am confusing anything.

If the "Granny Tier" is 768Kbps but I want the ability to say, stream Netflix. I should have the option of upgrading to the "Granny Xtreme Tier!" which has say, a 1.5Mbps limit. I am obviously paying extra for the convenience of being able to move more bits per second, so there should be an extra charge associated with that.

This seems to be getting too complicated. Too many tiers for the average consumer.
