To add to this, 95 percentile billing seems to work very well in the UK. But since this isn't useful to an individual end user, this requires the last-mile provider to be required to resell wholesale access under 95 percentile billing, and for multiple ISPs to compete buy under this cost structure and resell to consumers under price structures that work better for them.

This works very well in the UK. We have no "net neutrality" problem as a result.
