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.

Taxi cabs clearly state 'all passengers ride for the price of one'. If they had a problem with it, they'd charge each passenger separately. So if Comcast has a problem, it should change its pricing structure.

I have never seen a Taxi with such a sign or policy. I'm not saying it does not exist, but it's a regional variable at best.

They are everywhere, and that’s literally how Taxis work. As narcogen said, if your taxi charges more for more people they are being shady.
