Re: Metered Billing Has Its Place I'm not a "large bandwidth company", just an average guy that hosts some web content and a few websites, and I buy bandwidth in 1TB chunks, at the rate of 2-3 cents per gigabyte. And that's NOT cogent bandwidth, It's Level3 bandwidth. And I have no problem paying for the bandwidth as I use it, since I know it's provided to me at a reasonable cost.
While it may not be easy to pin down the exact cost of bandwidth, it's quite obvious it's a relatively cheap, and plentiful resource, which naturally makes it a perfect resource for cable companies to mislead customers into thinking it's "scarce and expensive". |
