PAY PER MEGABYTE - new billing system ? - GoFuckYourself.com

polish_aristocrat · 07-02-2004, 10:14 AM

Just found this on a site:

HOW WE CHARGE - 29¢/MB
We charge for the amount you want to use, as you use it. We feel this is much better than being charged on a monthly basis for acess you will probably not use, or continue to be charged when you forget your password or username. We don't work that way.

What do you think about this billing model?

Looks pretty interesting

hmmmm

riosluts · 07-02-2004, 10:16 AM

Yeah I think it is a pretty good idea. But 29c/per MB, is a bit too high don't you think.

Robertf · 07-02-2004, 10:18 AM

pretty expensive ..if you ask me ...

but buying credits .. is not something realy new .. just not much used.

Yeah $0.29 per MB is far to expensive...

Ash@phpFX · 07-02-2004, 10:18 AM

so i could download 100mb from them for $29 or join a good quality paysite and download a few hundred times that amount?

10.95 for a porn magazine is a bit high dont you think? You get more for your money with this price

directfiesta · 07-02-2004, 10:21 AM

doesn't make sense for porn.... I add a week two movies of 700 megs each! included in the monthly fee ....

700 megs x .29 = $ 203.00 to download the film...

This may attract new surfers who have no paysite experience and this system sounds fair to them, or surfers who had been ripped off by paysites ( by hidden crossales - and they don't know what cross sales are, they just feel like being billed a few times ).

woj · 07-02-2004, 10:23 AM

interesting... but yea, like everyone else said, 29 cents seems a bit expensive...

tolik · 07-02-2004, 10:28 AM

hehe

i planning to do this in middle of 2002 - but people tell me what this be very hard to selling thing. it why i drop this idea. we even have almost ready system for this - it like prepaid GSM phones - you buy card with number on it - and recharge your account.

here a lots of ways how sell these cards - even at ebay - because it charge balance per mb downloaded - so it possible to use it for MP3 or videos.

i see now some sites in my country who selling access this way for customers of other ISPs - we have extra high cost here per Gb.

You can buy bandwidth now for less than 50 cents a gig, its been this way for over 2 years now.
Why would anybody turn around and pay 290$ a gb today?

No one is buying bandwidth on this site...

Manowar · 07-02-2004, 10:31 AM

Overcharging big time there

andi_germany · 07-02-2004, 10:49 AM

Well if you call 29ct a minute overcharging you should kick dialers out of the window.

You pay up to e.g. 1.86? a minute here in Germany for a shitty dialup connect. WHat do you think you can download in 1 minute with a shitty 56k?

polish_aristocrat · 07-02-2004, 01:49 PM

Yeah, i wanted to say it too - it's cheaper than the dialers.
And who knows, maybe he's quite happy with his billing model.
Not sure how are the charge backs though
