Really? I guess thats why TalkTalk, Sky bradband and all the rest of them have gone bust... Oh wait! They havent!

Please provide proof of your pricing as how I work it out its more like 50 cents US for 1GB.

My point is they all have limits/throttles/fair user policies, which the end user ends up complaining about as they cant watch 10 episodes of Dr. Who online.... I guess the question is would the end user rather have a 16mbit throttled/limited line or a 1mbit unlimited line?

That pricing also has no relevance to what ISPs are paying for tier 1/2 transit and peering in this country or the US.... If you want proof of my pricing go ask any provider for some IP Transit with all routes in any of the UK data centres

Im training at Plusnet atm, and during the first week we were told that if a customer was to max out their 8mb line 24/7, it would cost the ISP £1500 a month.

that figures out at £0.60p per GB if Im figuring correctly.

Of course, it would require the person in question to find themselves something like 2500 terabytes to download, and a house which has its own exchange so they can actually get 8mb rather than "8"mb like the rest of us get.

TBH I think my 4MB real speed connection is quite fast enough, and my fair usage policy doesnt kick in unless I pass ~60GB/month. Perhaps Im just wierd/old fashioned, but thats more than I could use if I tried.

You heard the virgin media boss rantings about net neutraility and how it was a load of bollux? LOL
He even said sites should absolutely pay ISPs to be able to be viewed by their users
Basically everyone agrees hes gone mad, when you add the fact virgin are or were considering the silly system preventing basically any download and their row with sky and following childish actions no one is going to be left customer wise, lol.

You also got BT breaking laws with advert systems and private tests on its users...

A number of ISPs have gone mad, pipex sold up as well - What is going on, lol

You cant realistically convert it into Gbytes from mbit as it is measured in 95th %ile...

But still, 25% mark-up isnt that much in tinternet world.
