They're an "eyes network". What do they expect? Look at typical traffic profiles for home users. They send out tiny requests, and receive big packets of data (web pages, images, streaming media).
I find it ironic that when we were an "eyes network" of dial-up users, we bought transit to bring traffic in for our customers. Now that we're a hosting network and our transit bandwidth is lopsided the other direction, the big "eyes networks" are saying we should pay them to deliver the traffic their customers request.
