Time Warner sucks (so does Beaumont). I'll stick with my Grande Communications service. "8 Mbps" (really 12+, based on the speed tests I've taken) for $40/mo. Booya.
QUOTE Now, one cable company is starting to push back at excessive bandwidth usage caused mainly by video downloading. After an internal memo was leaked, Time Warner Cable confirmed it's planning a trial in Beaumont, Tex., in which it will charge Internet subscribers based on usage. http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/topstock...ernet-fees.aspx This post has been edited by Spectatrix: Jan 18 2008, 04:08 PM -------------------- |

if you pay for unlimited, you should get unlimited.
it would be like sprint calling me and saying "you send over 3,000 txts every month, so even though you pay for unlimited txts, we're going to need more money" |
