> Bandwidth is not a limited resource, therefore charging by total use is incorrect That's... not true at all. It's not limited (in practice) in the sense that there is only so much we will ever have, but it is definitely limited in the sense that there are costs associated with getting more. It is, however, generally true that the incremental cost of a gigabyte consumed by a residential user is dwarfed by the up-front cost of getting reasonable bandwidth to their door.
