I never understood this argument. Comcast doesn't need usage-based pricing to raise rates. They can just raise rates. Their rates change all the time (and vary by where you are). Given that, raising prices for high-usage customers is really kinda the same thing as lowering prices for low-usage customers (give or take a base-rate hike).
I think this argument conflates whether Comcast is too expensive with whether usage-based pricing is necessarily unfair.
Put another way, why is it ok to charge less for a capped speed but it isn't ok to charge less for a capped monthly transfer?
