ISP's make money from subscriptions. The ideal subscriber would be someone who pays the $21.95/month (or whatever it is these days) and *never* uses the Internet. If you have 1000's of those, you could make a tidy profit on a T1. The more bandwidth a subscriber uses, the less profitable their subscription is to the ISP.
