Per-Byte Broadband Billing Is Neither Necessary Nor Inevitable > What about packet loss?

Re: What about packet loss?

Not really an option in a lot of markets.

Then move. People move all the time for access to better schools, jobs, transit access, parks, etc. Why should broadband access be any different?

Get real. While people do often move for better jobs, only an extremely few move (as in the distance to a market with more ISP options) for the other reasons you listed. All the other reasons you listed you can usually just move to a different section of a town to improve. In most towns one cannot move to another area within the same town(or metro) and change the ISPs one has access to, for the most part each town(or metro) has just one set of choices for ISP.
