Microsoft doesn't charge you for your internet service. This is why they also don't charge you for Xbox Live Silver. Xbox Live Gold is a subscription, including short weekly Microsoft shows, online playability, Avatar games and much, much, more.

360 games don't even use MS servers as hosts. They are using P2P for online gaming just like many PC games so basically they are using your own console as server while gaming. MS doesn't even have dedicated hosts for online play so basically MS charges for something which cost them almost nothing at all.

Online gaming isnt all Xbox Live offers dude. It's also a community.
