ISPs in my experience have a fee schedule supported by a model which
allows them to recover their expenses plus a nominal profit. If the
model doesn't work, in the long run that is a problem that solves
itself. At the right scale I have productive leverage against the profit
side of that number and also what line items the expenses are lodged
against. below that I'm a retail customer and I pick from the best
options available to me.
