Well my electric does that too. But in march is my make up month and if my usage is less than what I have paid I get a free month if it s more then I get a bill for the difference. This year I had to make up $435 in the month of march.
But that is still a budget so if we did that with wireless then every year we would get the option to raise their bill guess who would find a new service.

Ryan Spott Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 2:06 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Congressman Wants to Ban Download Caps My electric bill is the same every month regardless of how much I use. My wife used to work for the electric company and discovered that you can do bill averaging for the year, based on last years bill. That means that high usage for AC or whatever in whatever month does not kill you that month. Makes it easier to budget. Each bill shows what you are paying and what the actual charge is. So it might look something like this: Jan Actual: $75 payment: $100. Feb Actual: $75 payment: $100. Mar Actual: $75 payment: $100. Apr Actual: $75 payment: $100. May Actual: $75 payment: $100. Jun Actual: $75 payment: $100. Jul Actual: $75 payment: $100. Aug Actual: $400 payment: $100. _> AC unit comes on full blast. They re-analyze your usage for the next years monthly payments at the end of the year. Works pretty well.. Now if only bandwidth usage did that sort of thing!... wait!
