Re: In one sentence. said by AnonDOG :
The only people who fear metered billing are people who believe their bill will go up with metered billing.
The fun of it is that once they establish the model, it's limbo dance time as caps can get lower, like Bell pulled up in Canada. Then, they just need to sit back and wait for the rising tide of all broadband traffic to rise and get the last laugh at what last year was a generous limit and today is not nearly enough.
Every provider has a different idea of what represents reasonable usage. For Frontier, it's 5 gigabytes. For Time Warner, it was 40GB. For AT&T, it's around 100-150GB, for Comcast it's 250GB. Cablevision thinks limits are stupid and doesn't have any.
Nobody should be comfortable with that, especially if Frontier is your phone company and Time Warner is your cable provider.
