Industry wide they are unwilling to set price to speed soemthign as simple as

25/10KBPS=25$/M
250/50KBPS=39$/M
500/200KBPS=59$/M
1000/500KBPS+=90$/M

would gain them more than lose them the prices might be ail high but the point is to balance price V cost, what they want to do is say we will give you a 40$ 9Mbit line but you may only see 4Mbit out of it and then they charge you 10cent a MB after the first 20GB.

they have it assbackwards most of the companies rule their regions and even if they do not if a company dose not use the above example they will have to throttle,blackout and make the consumers pay more for it.
