ISPs have always discriminated (in a good way) what kind of TCP/IP traffic is flowing through their pipes (ever read a ToS stating that they will not allow you to run an IRC or dedicated game server?) And you already pay to access my site, it's through your own bandwidth provider that you pay. It just so happens that since my site consumes relatively little bandwidth, it doesn't cause you to go above your allotted monthly bandwidth.
