This, in effect, is what some ISPs do by offering a choice between fairly severely restricted usage on their cheap options and nearly unlimited on their more expensive offerings. Others, BE being a notable example, have found a more suitable - for them and under present conditions - business model in offering just unlimited usage at a price somewhere between the two extremes.

Sorry if you took my comments personally they were not intended to be personal.

I'm afraid I can't agree with...

I don't see why my particular pattern of internet usage should incur a premium when yours does not. Smacks of extreme selfishness on your part.

though.

I'm a firm believer in paying for anything by usage level (electric, gas, petrol etc. etc.) and if someone chooses to use high bandwith they should be prepared to pay more for that than light users.

Incidentally I'm not an especially light user and have occasionally used iPlayer myself.
