«Even for ISPs running their own network, such as BT, Davies claims the figures of €0.01-0.03 per GB are "rubbish". "It's an order of magnitude greater than that," he claimed.»
awesome, so it only costs about a quarter for a gigabyte. so i use about 20 GB a month. can i just pay 5 bucks a month? yeah, i didn't think so. i'm pure gravy for them, and what does comcast charge me for 4 to 10 Mbps? $70
and don't get me started about the fixed cost versus the variable cost—the variable cost is certainly not more than a few cents per GB but the fixed costs can be enormous.
