Sooooooo, given that I can't keep my current 100mbit service as it is and Chrysalis has suggested that it would cost significantly more than what I currently pay, I used an analogy of an already implemented service being used on another technology (mobile phones ) to provide an example of how VM can implement a graduated price plan to off set the additional expense for those customers who want an stm free service.
