I don't understand your analogy, but what I said is not silly.

Internet service providers sell you access to the internet. They don't own/create the data on the internet, they provide you with a connection. Just look at the packages they sell. It's bandwidth. (Except in some markets they have data caps but that's bullshit rent seeking)
