The cable companies want to put a meter (rate) on MBps (megabytes per second), just as your water and gas is billed now, by useage. Currently, you're just billed for the service connection, and the speed it delivers, not the amount you use. That's already happening to me. Verizon bills me differentially for speeds. I've just upped to their fastest speeds. But the home connection is not billed, at least not yet, according to amount of downloads/uploads. We do, however, have such on our iPads and iPhones. I would not be surprised to see Verizon try to get more granular with all this. I'm certain you've seen their monthly bills. They are a model of complexity and concealment.
