extortion

And racketeering.

...You like that a broadband intahnet do yah? Oh, you wanna actually use the crap out of it sometimes? That'll cost ya a little extra, just in case, you know, some bad person might want to throw a brick through your window, or kill your cat...

What a mess.

Indeed, if they really did offer the "what the frak is the internet" plan for less use, it'd have to be $5. Karl's right though; we'll never see that...

Why not just set a clear usage policy that makes sense to the average person? Is that too much to ask?

it is extorition and it is bullshit.i want my monthly access not this metered krap.
i am truly wishing i had a way to setup a broadband ISP and then doing it cheaper and better than these greedbags cause i would never do metered and if i had to i would close up shop first.

I started up an isp about a year ago. What keeps our city of 9000 people happy is the diversity. I have been into other area's of the country that were 4-5 times as big and have fewer choices for access. Here we have 5 ISP's to choose from ; all with great coverage (including ours :P). I am sure we won't ever have to go into a metered system, and I am sure that the other guys here in town don't want to either. When the ISP's fear each other most of the time great things happen. The big problem I see with this is that most of these location's are a single ISP market, and that's bad. The scary thing about this most of all is that it is expanding into more and more territories.
