"Bytes don't cost money. The capacity to transfer them does. That T-1 costs the same amount of money sitting idle as it does running at 100% 24/7."
Yes they do. If you've ever worked for an ISP, you'd understand this. The ISP who you are using is in many cases a customer of other ISP's, and those arrangements typically aren't the same as the "flat" rate an ISP charges for a residential connection; in fact most transit arrangements are often usage based.
