It is sold at a loss if the total bandwidth was used for the entire month. It is the fact that most people do not that makes it profitable. Areas where more people max out the bandwidth there are losses. At the 200 kbit/s range the local ISPs I have consulted with see a loss with P2P and online movies. [The ISPs arent going to see 1mbit/s or 8mbit/s for a while since we are in the rural badlands of Qwest.]
