14225-2105 | Actually, this is extraordinarily easy.
As granny doesn't want more than a few megabytes moved per month, lower her bill way down, to like 5 or 10 dollars per month (to cover equipment maintenance, the bulk of the equipment power consumption, billing, the hopefully very infrequent support call, etc.) plus a cent or two per megabyte, or something close. Even at the lowest TWC (for example) tier, $14.95 I think it is, you're still talking on the order of $5/mo. of savings. But that is very much the exception to the rule.
After a while, it adds up. It has little to do with subscribing to too high a tier.

kudos:7 | What "lite" tier? Their web ordering crap shows only the standard (40$) and turbo (70$) tiers. And their CSR's don't know wtf it is either. (the best I can find today is "per market" but then cannot find anything in any market) The last number I saw a few years ago was $19.95/month for stupid low speeds. |

14225-2105 | Yeah, I'd tend to agree, the plan's not easy to find. I have the standard RR tier, but my 77yo cost-conscious mom for example is on a lower speed than me. I haven't looked at the bill, but I have to believe my mom would never settle for paying the ~$45 I am.
