Re: Fun with Math said by patcat88:Well, with metered billing, you be paying for your ISP to buy a HD for data retention every month to store your traffic. It works perfectly. Metered Billing only counts how much you use NOT what you are using it for. It just updates a counter associated with your account.
IOW: It is like the trip meter on you car's odometer - It shows how far you have driven since it was last reset, NOT where you were driving (which would need a "Black Box" with a GPS unit). |

If you use less than your bucket, cheaper for the ISP to store your data traffic. If if you move 250GB a month, about $20 of your monthly bill went to buy HD space to store your 250GB for 2 years. |
