I got a water bill last month for $210 and wasn't angry. My bill the month before was only $30 dollars. I knew what 25,000 gallons of water to fill my pool was going to cost me.
I have 60 customers that I loose money on every month. I can afford the implementation for what I will gain in revenue or gain back in profitability; so I'm moving in that direction. 70 % of my customers said they would prefer it. I expect that when it's implemented more like 90 % will like it and the other 10 % can pay for what they really want - 24 X 7 usage of large amounts of bandwidth or not. I either need to make money on the account or not have it. I'm not a charity and not subsidized to provide it at a loss. Dave Hulsebus Matt wrote: >> usage based means tiers of prices...
