It seems to me that in the ensuing discussion of this, there are several models proposed that do not take into account any costs other than bandwidth cost. I would think that one should calculate what it costs to aquire and maintain a customer, including office/support/billing/equipment etc...

We don't limit bandwidth usage, but we do throttle some things and change out our Priorities. We give VoIP traffic priority over everything else, Web Browsing then POP. SMTP second to bottom for priority, P2P all the way down on the crap scale. However when it comes to P2P we limit that amount

I agree. I had a gamer come to me the other day wanting a guarantee that his games would work on our system. heh Told him that if it's really that much money on the line (he said he had up to $25k per month riding on his gaming) he should buy a t-1 from the telco! Never heard from him again.

Funny, we have people and companies ask us for this type of setup quite often. Rather than running them off, we price it accordingly and build our network to support them even if that is a dedicated link to their premise. I would much rather take their 300-500/month (t1 pricing) than give
