Ah neat. That's cool. I like that. It could also be like fixed below usage and per GB above to mirror the costs. Essentially, small enough that a normal consumer won't see a problem but your torrent 24x7 guy is paying his dues. I have gigabit fibre here in SF and if I ran at full tilt I'm doing 100 MB/s × 3600 s/hr × 0.01 cents / GB × 0.01 GB / MB = 36 cents / hr. And that's $260 on traffic per month. I think it's fine to pay that in overages if you're using at full tilt. I totally get the advantage of not worrying about that. I prefer my unlimited which just has a soft limit but I'd prefer to pay for what I use without subsidizing the 0.01 percentile customer. I'm also a big fan of traffic shaping for wireless because honestly my WhatsApp message is probably more important than my YouTube video. Pause the latter to send the former. Every time. The real tragedy is that we don't have the attention (physically) to be able to auction instantaneous spectrum bandwidth.
