Comcast (or whoever) pays for your infrastructure. (Gaming)

So, if you're using it more heavily, upgrades will be needed sooner. The infrastructure is to access something free, but certain things cost Comcast infinitesimally more than other things.

In much the same way, you pay a taxi cab money to use their car for access to nominally free roads. But, if you take 3 other people, and use slightly more resources, meaning the car will have to be repaired ever so slightly sooner, the taxi cab charges a slightly higher rate.

This is no different.
