We have a stipulation in our AUP when the customer signs the initial
contract that prohibits maximizing their connection for a sustained
period of time. We enforce a 3 strike rule then kick 'em off-line if
violated. If they choose to go with another provider then good riddance.
Let the competition deal with them.

What mechanism do you have in place to 'protect' your network from the person
that downloads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you sold me a connection that
was 256k for $39.99 I would feel that I have a right to use it as much as I
want.
I am not saying bit cap, I am saying tiered pricing. I am sure that most here
can break their clients into 3 groups;
1. the people that rarely use their Internet, possibly 300-500 megabytes per
month.
2. The average user that probably uses 2-5 Gigabytes per month.
3. The bandwidth hog that is using 20 Gigs plus per month and complains when
their speed teest falls for 5 k bits per second.
My argument is that ISPs need to have a mechanism to make the people in the
last group either pay their fair share, or go somewhere else.
