ATS deployed its stamper boxes to emulate Shentel DSL customers and generate internet data usage for one full billing cycle.  The data generated by the stamper boxes was then compared to the Shentel billing system to validate its accuracy.  The full report including details of the analysis and the results can be downloaded [HERE](https://blog.atso.com/hubfs/Shentel%20DSL%20Usage%20Meter%20Accuracy%20Analysis%20-%20ATS.pdf).

But today the popularity of YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and countless other video outlets have turned the tables on service profitability. Thus, in the U.S. cable internet market, all signs now point to the widespread adoption of usage based billing.  The same kind of tiered, usage based billing plans that are now popular in cellular.
