Re: metered billing means said by baineschile:No, I am completely for higher speeds and competition. But, at the day and age, i think the caps imposed are semi-reasonable. I do think though, that any ISp has the right to manage their network however they see fit; and if .1% of their customers eat 25% of the bandwidth, and caps is a way to kick them off, then so be it; or pay for commercial rates. If they are willing to sell it, then they do have the capacity. They are the ones that chose the billing model, not us. You either bill flat rate, and deal with the spectrum of usage habits, or bill by the byte. If you bill by the byte, I for one expect it to be similar to electricity. There is a connection fee, and usage per byte. The problem is that they want it both ways. They don't want to lose the $$ from people who barely use their connections, but still want to gouge the people who do. People who use 2 - 5 gigs per month should be paying $15 a month, not $50. But the greedy pigs want more....
It's liks saying that you are an hourly employee until you hit 40 hours. Then you switch to Salary. You can't have your cake and eat it too!!!
