Err Chrys how exactly can you guage the resource demands of the bottom tier when you don't know how many modems are connected to the port?

It might be more congested because people are hammering it, or it might be because there's far too many modems there - you don't know.

What he said. The comments about the discounted packages don't hold true either given the amount of people on 20, 30 or 50Mb who apparently have discounted packages and negotiated free upgrades.

Granny who pays her bill on time each month and checks her email every so often is still paying the bills for Mr News Freak to download his hundreds of GB a month and pay not much more.

Again, if you feel you are being robbed and your subscription is subsidising others perhaps going to a pay per GB system would be better? Only pay for what you use, no more.
