Ok I think I get it, the ISP dosn't want to put up the price of its service and appear unpopular so what it wants is money from say Youtube (who has already paid for the bandwidth at thier end) to subsidise their customers usage.
Its a bit like when you buy a car with a 6 litre engine, the car dealership gets a fuel subsidy from the car manufacture and passes it to me so it cost no more than a 3 litre engine.
If I pay for my 8Mb/256k ADSL line and connect to a sever thats pays for its xxx/xxx connection, wouldn't any interference be a Denial Of Service attack??
I really don't understand it. One of my customers uses AOL for it's ISP, yet they have to pay a surcharge to email receipts to AOL customers, most others ISP's don't add surcharge business emails. They also have problems receiving emails from some other business (excluding spam that still floods thier inbox).
If you pay per GB at each change of service provider, why can't you use it?
