You realize you probably don't come anywhere near 250 gigs, right?

Doesn't matter. They charge a ridiculous amount of money for unlimited access. I'm not going to pay that much for limited access just so they can be good copyright cops.

The amount of bandwidth that people are using is increasing dramatically.

They charge enough to make a profit already.

So they can either encourage people to limit their traffic, or charge an even higher amount for a truly unlimited price.

Limited access isn't worth more than $10 a month to me.

95% of their customers don't even come close to 250 gigs, so would you rather they raised the 'all you can eat' price for 100% of their customers or just charge extra to the 5% who use a lot?

I'd rather they left it the way it is and then have to drop the price even further due to many competitors.

Their creepy position on bit torrents alone is almost enough to make me drop my entire contract with them.

"They charge enough to make a profit already."

What do you care what their profit is? Did I mis-enter the URL here and wind up on DailyKOS?

It makes sense because it allows a pricing plan to discriminate between super heavy-users and the casual users.
