No, Its as if the Post Office agreed to delivery my mail at .43 a letter, but then asked me for more money when my Mom started send me 10 letters a day with the proper postage.
I (and millions of others) pay Comcast a certain rate for a certain data plan. In my case, about $50/month for 50Mb down, 2Mb up, capped at 250GB per month.
So if I want to watch 250G of movies in a month, at those data rates, why should I or anyone else have to pay more? I've already contracted with Comcast for that much bandwidth.
The reality, of course, is that Comcast (and all other ISPs) MASSIVELY oversubscribe their own network. They don't have any where near the capacity to actually support what they sell. And they want Netflix to foot the bill for the buildout required to provide the capacity they claim they sold me.
