My nan could be even better off, she could opt out of the gaming and video packages. Pretty great for those on fixed incomes. Netflix accounts for 36% of all internet traffic. That means it accounts for a substantial portion of the costs involved in maintaining an internet service. I gave up my subscription to Netflix long ago, why is my (very highly priced) Internet bill subsidizing others? Net Neutrality doesn't exist in the mobile phone market, which is why we get great deals on companies like T-Mobile are legally able to offer services like this: https://www.t-mobile.com/offer/binge-on-streaming-video-list.html |
The graph fails to mention that you would still be paying a base price for internet unless if you want ISPs to control what websites you are allowed to visit. If you only use one intensive service such as video streaming then such a system would benefit you because you would only have to be paying for unlimited bandwidth based on only one service. However if you are someone like me who downloads a lot of games from Steam, streams a lot of video, does a lot of generic downloads then chances are I will be paying more under this system than my generic unlimited bandwidth plan.
Secondly if a service is not offered unlimited by my ISP to be unlimited such as say foreign or small streaming then I guess I am just out of luck.
