At what point are they incurring a cost per gigabyte? I used to work commissioning DSL equipment for a CLEC and we just paid for a DS3 (or multiple, if required) that had a monthly charge with no metering. This was a couple of years ago, but has it changed? Seems doubtful.

If you get a T1 or other dedicated circuit, you certainly aren't metered. Why would an ISP be treated any differently?

A truly illegal and immoral activity.

No way man, not as illegal or immoral as what the RIAA/MPAA are doing to American liberties. I believe that Fyodor should be prosecuted for breaking into that guy's computer, but we need to deal with Hillary Rosen and her goon squad first.
