90% of internet users use less than 50GB/month. Fewer than 3% use more<br>
than 200GB/month - should all the other customers subsidize huge<br>
downloaders?<br></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>I honestly can't figure out your argument here. A customer pays for access to the Internet. How much they use it is their prerogative.

The IoT stuff scares me - nest is really scary, just like carrying a<br>
