Re: AVG off 11.4 GB/month shows caps not out of line said by tiger72:said by Romney2012:And if you are in the TOP 10% you should pay more. Why? What is the cost to ISPs? It's not like a road where increased traffic = increased wear and tear, decreasing longevity, and hurting investment. And this aint Pre-Docsis where a single user could destroy everyone else's bandwidth. Actually the problem is oversubscription. If everyone were on full throttle 24x7 no one would be able to use their connection.
The reality is that most people don't need a full throttle connection 24x7 which is why we can have affordable broadband for home use. |

One of the issues that causes issues when oversubscription is done is that there is no option to get that kind of connection. Networks overtaxed: Have the heaviest users moved over to a more dedicated, pricier service: ooops! This is not available to most people to begin with.
