I don't know about the carriers, but some of the littler 2nd and 3rd tier guys are billing at 95th percentile because that's how they are billed upstream. I too would think that if you're actually paying a fixed rate for a fixed-rate pipe then you'd be far more interested in filling the valleys, so to speak. I know some broadband providers who are in that boat, but they don't want to also do what it would take to attract the traffic that would fill their valleys. -- Greg A.
