  1. Pay for usage? by DavidJA · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Are there providers in the US that supply ADSL at an unrestricted speed, with no time or download limits, which let you host your own servers if you like; but charge a nominal fee per MB downloaded?

    It seems to me that every time /. posts an artical about ADSL/Cable, people start complaining about not being able to host content, or having uplink speed restrictions.

    Well how about a simple user pays system? You can do whatever you like with the connection but you have to pay for what you do?
