Re: I Call Bull$#!+

I think that the point is valid in some industries. I recently got my hair cut - the price was $12 or $15 for long hair. Same service different price for "heavier" users.
Or Walmart that sells shirts that are $2 extra for X sizes...

The practice does exist, that can not be denied. Aught it be used by ISPs? that is the debatable question.

--------------edit--------------

My analogy is flawed. They are not talking about charging the end user more (even though it ultimately will cost us more). If it is the hair saloon then it would be charging a flat rate to the customers and charging the hair care product companies to prominently display their product. Does this happen?

There are quality levels for those things but for the same item, we still pay the same. You want a Big Mac like mine? Your gonna pay the same. Want a Yukon like mine, you'll pay the same. Internet like mine, youll pay the same. Now, if you want a better burger, a better Yukon or better internet, you can pay more. But that is why ISP's have tiered levels of service. If you want better, you can pay more, but dont put the extra cost on everyone when its you (not personally here, just general statement) want the "better" service.
