There are fairly regularly congestion in most ISPs, during single fault or
during extraordinary events where demand is much more than normal demands.

I'm not talking about dropping now and then, some content/eyeball links are
congested every day until content agrees to pay to eyeball.
I'd be curious to know, if this content/eyeball strategic congestion occurs
for eyeballs who charge consumers by the byte.
