My gas bill if I don't use it is $6 a month. then I get charge so much per unit. Now if the ISP want to charge this way then they need to LOWER the cost of th basic service FIRST. but they don't want to they want to keep charging $50 a month PLUS overages. Sorry can't have it both way.

If the ISPs want to meter bandwith fine except

A) Base price has to be $10 a month
B) Overages can't be more than 50% over actual cost.
Blah blah blah. People who use more should pay more. ISPs set the prices. You have three choices:

1. Pay it and shut up.
2. Find a new ISP whose policies jibe with your ideals.
3. Quit the interwebs.
