DSL has been like this for years (but better)

My SDSL modem can handle 1.1M/1.1M; however, I can pay for either 768K/384K or 384K/128K, so basically I'm paying for bandwidth.

But this is much better than the T-W way:
1. I know what my bill will be (no surprises)
2. My local ISP does a very good job of allocating bandwidth so that the bandwidth I pay for is available

Is this pay for capacity or pay for use? - (kmself) - (1) - April 9, 2002, 09:22:25 PM EDT
