I'm paying for a flatrate (ADSL) at home. I don't use the bandwidth
most of the time, simply because I have no interest in leeching movies
without end, but a lot of others do. In fact, the ISP has just upped
the downstream from 768 to 1024 kbit/s at no extra cost. Many people I
know have p2p-stuff running day and night. I mean, the company isn't
giving you the bandwidth for altruistic reasons either, you pay them
money for it.
