Is a megabyte not an easily-measurable unit? Consumers understand that 1 gallon of gas gets you 14 miles, because Detroit doesn't want to give us cars that get 50 mpg. I fail to follow the point, let alone relevance. Internet was metered by the hour back in the day, but since then it has been Unlimited. "Unlimited" should be in quotes. <fantasy> I'd love to see issuance of a few writs ordering specific performance for "unlimited" service. </fantasy> You would have to figure out what 80% use in GB's per month and make that your MRC. And let four out of five people know that they're subsidizing one heavy user in five. :-) HWL -- "Even I have to give credit to anyone who can make a relatively-honest couple of BILLION bucks... so here's to you, Bill.
