That's a fair process to all, but confusing to the customer. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Goldman" <agoldman@jupitermedia.com> To: <isp-bandwidth@isp-bandwidth.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 8:44 AM Subject: RE: [isp-bandwidth] Om Malik supports throttling, gets flamed wouldn't it make sense to set prices as "$x for x Mbps and x GB monthly, $0.10 per MB over"? ISPs would have to allow customers to see how much throughput they've used, and to give users the option to turn off the pipe before paying overages. -----Original Message----- From: KingBloom [mailto:lists@kingbloom.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 4:49 PM To: isp-bandwidth@isp-bandwidth.com Subject: Re: [isp-bandwidth] Om Malik supports throttling, gets flamed On Apr 29, 2008, at 3:18 PM, Hans Wolfgang Lutz wrote:If one advertises "unlimited", people _will_ utilize it. In my case, the place where I eat is losing money.

Trouble is, when you clamp down on the fat asses, that's what starts to get you in trouble. My take? Let them go. You don't have to provide service to someone you don't want to provide service to. If they are using too much (regardless of the unlimited thing), let them go.
