I don't mind pay-for-what-you-use services... "unlimited" plans of anything rarely reflect the economic realities of providing the service. Paying by usage seems intuitively fair to me.

I do mind that companies try to make money by forcing you to predict your usage in a given month. I never understood why it would be so difficult to dynamically adjust pricing as usage goes up.
