I thought IP transit was mostly paid by "95% percentile highest speed over 5 minutes" or something like that these days? Meaning that ISP's costs are maximised if everyone maxes our their line for the same 6% of the time over the month (even if they don't do anything the rest of the time), and minimised if the usage pattern were nicely spread out?
Yes. With Jeroen's suggestion, there's a risk that power-users' consumption will only be reduced for off-peak hours, and then the ISP doesn't save much. A possible countermeasure is to not count off-peak traffic (or not as much). Our charging scheme works like that, but our customers are mostly large campus networks, and I don't know how digestible this would be to retail ISP consumers. -- Simon.
