It costs my ISP resources but I pay a flat rate. That would have value to me.
- chii 3y agoif enough customers of the ISP do this, they will no longer charge a flat rate. It's just that some people manage to consume resources that other customers don't atm.
- Scoundreller 3y agoMy ISP situation is olipolistic (and perhaps a colluding duopoly once you distill it down enough). I’m confident it’s not an efficient market and they’re charging what the market can bare, not a tight markup over their actual costs.
