To be honest I simply give up

JustAnotherN00b and ianathuth WANT to believe that _their_ connections are being slowed down by a mysterious '5%' and nothing, it would seem, will convince them otherwise, not logic or facts. That is their perogative I guess.

Of course _their_ usage never impinges on anyone else's. It is only the usage of this mysterious 5% that ever effects anyone else. They want a pay as you use model because they don't use it very much, but they also want to ingnore that the bulk of cost of _their_ conection is the same regardless of how much they use it. This reality does not fit their desired belief, so they ignore it.

This is not intended to be personal, I merely use these two as examples because they have been vocal on the issue. It could be any 'they' that holds this same 'mythical' belief.
