30 euros, is not too much : it's not enough! the 800 euros is too much. Look at your provider's business plans, and I'm sure you'll find similar prices for a slow line (.......I've just checked with my old Boston address and came up with $672 for 5 Mb).

Even if you take off the cost of extra service layer, there is the same substantial discrepancy between the 2 offers. Hence my feeling that sharing the pipes with heavy users / heavy bandwidth technology does not mean sharing the bill.
I understand too that I'm not in the leisure business, nor running a very small company nor a pure player start up with limited means...

btw... $137? I would have said $80 max, that's what I paid 10 years ago, and those commodities' prices are supposed to go down. Had Verizon prices gone to the roof?! ;)

Hi Miss C,
What I am saying, is that I am already paying too much, because I have to pay the burden of freeloaders, TV over Ip Youtube and so more.
My business is paying a monthly 800 euros for a secure 8 Mb SDSL. I am personnaly paying 30 euros for a 24 Mb TV-internet-phone combo. It's the same company, the same pipes. Who's using the most broadband? My Kids watching Nickelodeon or my business programs over TSE?
I feel that am financing the piping for leisure. I don't know the US providers offers, but the French ones leave me with a sour taste of unfairness.

On the other side, I'm paying a rather slow but secure SDSL solution for my business. I'm rather jealous that my pipes are shared by TV over internet, youporntube watchers and most other people who are not creating value or jobs. The fiber was just installed in my town, but all I see is a discrepancy between my speed and the regular people's speed, and the price we pay.
Yes I understand that I have a warranty of service, a slow but constant and fair upload speed. But couldn't that be faster without the freeloaders around me?
So yes, I'd like a little bit of broadband to be not neutral.
Even if it's slowing my Neatorama browsing @ home.

Business vs Pleasure?
