Most places that sell bandwidth by the GB/mo, that is
also how they
meter it. Once you hit the limit, you site is automatically at that
moment replaced by a "Sorry, this site has used all it's bandwidth,
check back next month" page. Lot of good that does. These type of
arrangements are dirt cheap, long as you don't use much.
When you start paying for symmetric Gbps (note lower case b) that is
when you are more realistically paying for what you are using. And it
ain't $6/mo. It is thousands of dollars per month.
But I digress... what exactly does this have to do with classic computing?
It has everything to do with classic computing -- we're talking about
how to ensure information is shared as freely as possible without
costing anyone undue resources.
