If you think 100 GB is heavy you're crazy. If you think $2-$3 per GB for overage is "fair" your crazy. Did have you ever have paid for hosting? Does it cost you $2 if someone sues 2 GB of data on your site? Hell no. And you're just website owner. Now think about a whole fucking ISP. No way does it cost them more than 10 cents per GB, to send 1 GB of data. So why are they charging 20X-30X that for overage?

If you honestly think that's how it will work you're crazy. Do you think ligheer users that are now paying $50 or more a month are usddenly going to have their bills dropped to $10-$15 a month to reflect thier light useage? HA!

Not everyone using more than 50 GB is a illegal file share-er.
for example
Watching just ONE HD movie form Netflix a day = 75 GB per month
Watching just one hour a day of Hulu in 720p HD = 20 GB per month
Is this excessive? Major League Baseball has a streming package tha allows me to watch all my Rays games in HD on my PC. If I watch just one game a day that's over 100 GB in a month. How is that excessive? I'm paying over $100 a season and if I dare to use my subscription just ONCE a day I'm being excessive?
Say you have a family of husband wife 2-3 kids. Doing just normal stuff like watching youtube, Netflix, Hulu, playing XBOX 360 or PS3 online, listing to streaming radio is going to EASILY put you over 100 GB a month.

If one is a light user then WTF is the point of having 50 Mbps service?
