I have no problem with metered billing; if the cable company is so concerned with free-ish riders, why not just adopt the system that the electric, water, and gas companies do? Pay a reasonable price (well, maybe not for gas, but oh well) per unit used.
Oh wait, I forgot: they want a system that will gouge both light and heavy users.
