Heya Jenny S.
I been reading about the surcharged rate and such from the big 3 providers however I think in the long run that concept will die out.

It will die for 2 reasons.

1: the companies wont make as much money.
2: Subscibers at the ISP level will opt for flat rate providers over surcharge or use providers. ( Especially the bandwidth hawgs )

Now the later is just anti theoretical because some people are happy with the idea of only paying what they use, I can see that as a reality also and admittedly many user's are brief user's of the net, however user studies have proven that as people use the web they begin to use it more and more. Which result's to flat rates for the providers in the long run.

It looks like the generation after mine did not get very good educations.
Sure bandwidth of the webs users is increasing daily but the expansion of available bandwidth is increasing at a higher pace, while new technolgies are comming forward to exponentially increase bandwidth and download times.

Soon we will be measuring gigs per second.
