This has been going on for quite awhile, actually. While I don't want to pay more, there is some validity to their argument. They built the infrastructure, we use it.

Yes, they built the network. However, both sides pay bandwidth charges to use the network. The end-users (us) pay for the bandwidth to access the site (dial-up, cable, DSL, etc...) and the providers pay for the bandwidth to serve their content.

This nonsense is truly nothing more than "Gee... That's a fast website you have there. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it's connection speed."
