Well for myself, as much as I love using the internet, if it was going to cost me, say, $80 a month, I would either stop using the internet for any type of video or download, or I would get rid of cable or satellite TV.....which I'm thinking about doing anyway.

I would say if they were going to meter the cost of your usage of internet, then they should make sure that they don't have a minimum charge. For instance, I don't believe it would be fair to charge someone $40 a month for internet when all they do is check email and maybe the news but then charge for amount of bandwidth on the high end. I could consider agreeing with charging for the amount of bandwidth after a certain limit. I know that Comcast has a 250 gb limit.
