Why do we pay ISPs for internet speed, but mobile network operators for the amount of transferred data?
In: 672
[Tier 1 ISP’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network) do make you pay for transferred data. A tier 2 or 3 just eats the cost. That is also why there was a push from tier2/tier3 providers like Comcast to put data caps on service. They wanted to pass those costs onto the consumer.
