said by Harddrive:i want to see a low 'base price' for having the service available. then be charged if i use any on a per-gig basis. make it just like my electric or water bill. the less i use, the less i pay.
but we know that will never happen.
No it won't if ISPs do per byte billing. Prices will stay the same for the lowest of users and be much higher for everyone else. When ISPs say that per byte billings is "fair" for low users they are full of shit. There is no way a ISP is going to cut their prices in half or more to reflect the TRUE fairness they talk about.
