That's one form of metered pricing, but I'd argue that granularity of a month is much too coarse to make much sense form a network utilization perspective. As I've said in other comments, pricing based on 95th percentile circuit utilization (which is common among commercial ISPs) is a much more practical way to balance efficient utilization with incremental cost.
