The article says metered usage is common overseas.  I wonder if there's outrage over there or are we being a tad too tough on korprit merka.   Cool

lol, yeh, i remember when america used to settle for what passes as acceptable in other countries.

I won't waste either of our collective time(s) with more of a list, but I guess....yeah.  In my mind internet access should be the same.

Uh-oh     Shocked Wink



But back to our story.....

I understand why people would be upset over this thing, it would not be my choice as a consumer either.  But arguing that Internet service *should* be the same is nothing but a self-interested, one-sided position (ya, I know - thats a 'well duh' point  Wink).  There is no rule, unwritten or otherwise, that says Internet service should be a flat rate service.  Its simply a product pricing choice to be made by the seller.  Both options are completely valid - do I offer a buffet, or a menu?

We buy almost everything by the size, weight, or whatnot - by the gallon, ounce, pound, minute, number of, etc.  But we're gunna cry bull*feces* corporate greed when someone wants to charge by the Gigabyte?  What makes the byte so special?

Metered goods and services out-weigh flat rate ones by such a wide margin that flat rate services may be in the single digit portion of the pie chart.  So, you're right - we need not make more examples.

And I'm not sure I followed my argument as being two sided, even though that would not be new.  I never argued that Internet service *should* be metered - just that its a valid business choice and need not have a 'bull*feces*' attack placed upon it.

Time Warner Cable had said in January that it was planning to conduct the trial in Beaumont, but did not give any details. On Monday, Leddy said its tiers will range from $29.95 a month for relatively slow service at 768 kilobits per second and a 5-gigabyte monthly cap to $54.90 per month for fast downloads at 15 megabits per second and a 40-gigabyte cap. Those prices cover the Internet portion of subscription bundles that include video or phone services. Both downloads and uploads will count toward the monthly cap.

FWIW, their new service plan is tiered, so some subscribers theoretically may end up paying less than they do now.

It's only a theory--not a fact. But there seems to be an intelligence to the design tier system.
