I'd be more okay with metered billing if: - The fees weren't disproportionate with respect to any infrastructure investments. Why should my internet bill triple over the span of a few years while speeds decrease unless I call, wait on hold for a day, and ask to cancel service? - There weren't an aspect of double dipping -- why are we being charged for peak bandwidth (with absolutely no guarantee of reaching those speeds) and _also_ being charged for exceeding bandwidth caps equivalent to a few dozen minutes of full use? Why is that "extra" bandwidth more expensive than buying several extra full internet plans? - It didn't open the door to metering different content sources differently based on the ISP's monopolistic whims. There are physical bandwidth limits, and those need to be allocated somehow, but the status quo isn't great. |
