IOW: Usage-based billing makes sense commercially, whether you are a propeller-head or a bell-head. And since Internet providers tend to be for-profit businesses, doing what "makes sense commercially" is kinda required. Then again, I Am Not An Isp, so what do I know? If you think things are out of whack, sounds like a business opportunity to me! You should be able to take your superior knowledge and make a killing implementing a proper network. -- TTFN, patrick
I'll be honest, when this thread first started the first thing I thought was "I should find out how my local municipal fiber co-op is coming along with their buildout". For customers, going from unlimited to constrained is always painful (vs the opposite). My academic question is, where are costs killing consumer ISPs? Is it the last mile? Transit? Under-capacity peering points? -brandon
