We have pay-for-usage here in Australia. Apparently we're one of the few countries that still does it, but it's really not that bad. Although due to Youtube and Bittorrent they are thinking of making it pay-for-total-usage rather than just pay-for-downloads since uploads have spiked dramatically in the past couple of years. I don't really care, because I pay for nearly 10 times the amount of bandwidth that I actually use. (There not being very many "high throughput but moderate bandwidth allocation" plans out there)
