You are reffering to internet transit which is something different.
to give you an idea how expensive BT backhaul is entanet said they can send traffic to australia for about 10% of the cost they have to pay BT to send customer traffic to them.
Isp's such as sky and BE bypass these costs as they dont use BT wholesale backhaul, although they then have to pay for their own backhaul it is significantly cheaper hence they more competitive, VM also has their own backhaul.

i am aware but you are suggesting because they dnt pay for there itnernal bandwiwdht they dnt need to shaped, but since they pay for the backhual then that why they shaped to save them money. i do not agree with it but i understand there logic
