I'm surprised ISPs aren't more creative in their pricing schemes.

Currently, they all seem to charge a flat rate for a fixed optimum speed. I think they could manage bandwidth better if they changed a small amount per gigabyte plus a lower monthly fee. The price per gigabyte could vary based on peak usage times, so people would have an incentive to manage schedule their downloads during off hours.

I think that most people that hate the idea of being charged for usage amount are the people gobbling up tons of bandwidth, meaning their usage is subsidized by granny and her 3Mb of bandwidth use each month.
