Ok, perhaps 3Gb / month is a bit excessive, but 300Mb / month wouldn't even
cover email. Maybe 1Gb / month is a bit more realistic.

I know that saturn are planning to deliver 500Mb / month for $69 / month for
a 2Meg cable modem with a STATIC IP address.

how much is a little more?...at your calculation of 100Mb per day (are you
really expecting to do 3Gb a month?) at any cheap rate your are still
looking at over $350 per month...probably more...Which is still very cheap

Gig's per month really is a business/company usage value and not really a
residential one is it...I mean 100MB is high

I know you have the ability to calculate the variables that all ISP's by
bandwith/traffic for a certain price, which is a pretty low value and then
has to sell it to make a small profit so If Xtra/Telecom were to sell it
they way you have recommended so far then it would be at a loss.

How would sell it and make money for Telecom?

My Question is why does the first 300Mb cost $40 i.e. $0.13 per meg and
traffic over 300Mb is at $0.35 per meg. and WHY the 300Mb limit anyway,
thats only 10Mb per day. Why not have an ADSL plan that costs a little more
but gives you say 100Mb per day and an option?
