Most phone plans are 3 part tariffs, at least in Spain. You pay a fixed amount that includes some minutes of talk and some GB of data. If you go beyond the limits, you pay for each additional call or each additional 100MB block or whatever.

I'd say most utilities work in a similar way, maybe with a 2part (fixed costs + metered consumption).
