Re: AVG off 11.4 GB/month shows caps not out of line

They may not use as much bandwidth as you but they can if they choose to. Do you pay less for a car if you decide not to drive it more then 1-2 miles a week? no you don't.

No, but you pay less for gas. A better analogy, which would hold true, is you don't pay more for a modem or router just because you use the service more. Though a more expensive router tends to go faster.

Although you wouldn't pay more for the same car, you would pay considerably more for wear && tear, usage, gas and insurance if you choose to use it (or the service) more often.

Network gear && pipes are subject to wear and tear, maintenance costs and insurance I would suspect.

I don't think its out of line to charge more for the high-end bandwidth users.
