Re: Self Monitoring?



They will strangle in their own juices with a pay per byte model. Customers are not going to like the idea in the long run, especially with caps like 1 GB and $10 per gig over (which is nothing but a ripoff. Note the WIDE difference in overage fees.) They're crazy and it would never work here, especially with video, etc on the horizon.

Video is what will force the pay per byte model in the US.

The vast majority of their customers sign up for the HSE and Ultra services, which have a cap of 30 GB and 45 GB respectively and a price of $1.50 per GB after that.

What's not mentioned is that the max price charged for going over the cap is $30.

So whether you download 30 GB or 100 GB over the cap, you would pay $30 bucks in either scenario.
