Re: Is broadband metering really so bad? said by BF69:The problem with his analogy comparing broadband to utilites is that utilites are REGULATED, prices are REGULATED. Last time I checked ISPs are AGAINST being REGULATED. If ISPs want to start charing like utilities they should be willing to be treating as a utility. Last time I checked every house has ability to obtain electricity and POTS service. So if ISPs want to have metered billing then build out your networks so that EVERY home has the abilty to obtain your service THEN you can meter. Until then STFU. add to that there is an expected accuracy from anything in our lives that is metered, sometimes it is even required by law to be verified. i mean the water meter on my house has to be accurate, it cant read 1200gal when i only used 1000. and the gas station cant say i put 13gal in my car when i only put in 12.
can ISPs keep accuracy because if i pay by usage i expect accurate readings. if i use 100gb in a month id find them claiming 102gb as overbilling.
