Heh. I had said "fairness" — perhaps we both support unfair billing but
fair supply?

Two sides of the same tarnished coin, supply and demand.

Which model I prefer… Diogenes, when asked what kind of wine he liked best,
replied "The wine of others."

As a user in that top 10%, I like my bandwidth subsidized by my unwitting
peers. As an ISP, I'm managing to sell it AYCE, but I'm small potatoes. My
opinions are my own but largely informed by what I observe for customer
satisfaction, contrasting models in an uncompetitive market.
