AS a comparison I have Cox internet (only internet, no package) and it
costs us about $36 a month here in town. At this time there is not a
tier pricing by volume, just by speed. Cox did release an email with
instructions on how to check your volume, my largest monthly use was
0.88. I do not download movies or watch tv over the internet, mostly web
surfing, email, & some groups dialogs.

This is somewhat related to astronomy because if I have to go back to
dial up I will no longer be able to look at all the nice images members
post in Az-Observing.
Less than a year ago I always had dial up. Commspeed had a special high
speed offer for about $25/month. I just received, and verified with
them, that they are going to a new charging tier. It will no longer be
based on connection speed, but on gigabytes downloaded each month, hours
of internet browsing, and number of email messages received. Up to
10G/month the charge is $44.90 plus $2 per G over 10G in a month. Does
anyone know if this portends a trend that other internet providers will
be following? I will being going back to dial up and put up with the
inconvenience of making trips to the library to download large items,
although it is not a complete inconvenience since it will get me out of
the house. Being retired has its disadvantages.
