It's wrong in the sense that you'e not being charged for using up more pipe space in the water lines... You're being charged for using the actual water. So.. I don't think it's fair to charge someone for using the Bandwith since that's already sitting there waiting to be used. If someone uses a lot of bandwith during non peak times, it's not fair to charge him more because there's probably plenty of bandwith not currently being utilized. We're already throttled during peak hours to prevent us from using too much Bandwith, and that's fair enough. A more accurate comparison is being charged for through fare, which we're already paying for in the form of data plans and limits.... If I pay for unlimited, I should get unlimited. Not an additional separate charge for using up bandwith that's designed to be used.
