They prefer you to be umetered as it's more expensive, there's only always a limit to what you can use anyway but it is your choice, either pay more to have what you like when you like or pay less to only what you use, that makes perfect sense.
A metered broadband, well it is effectively that already now isn't it.
But broadband is classed totally different, people pay £37 a month to be able to download what they like, do they really care about Joe Bloggs down the street, is it their fault the system can't cope because VM over subscibes without upgrading their systems?
