Re: Not a suprise

said by clrankin:
And I disagree with placing caps on how much data can be downloaded per month too. The service I buy already has a certain speed it's capped at; if the ISP is unwilling/unable to support people using an all-you-can-grab connection at those speeds, they should either close their doors or upgrade their network. (Again, I have no problem putting my money where my mouth is)
I guess the key question is, how much are you willing to pay for a premium service? I'm sure New Zealand Telecom would be delighted if you bought them a trans-Pacific OC-192.

ISPs usually structure their prices based on average usage, but they've discovered a handful of users are way outside that. So they either spread the costs to everyone, or they just ding those using the bandwidth.
