Exactly. That sort of charging people is ridiculous. In fact, there is nothing I can think of that gets a
much higher ratio of cost to reward as the reward gets higher, besides, of course, bullshit methods of charging like this (when ISPs don't have to work 10 times harder to give customers internet past 300GB).
