Time Warner To Offer Unlimited Bandwidth For $150
unr3a1 writes to tell us that Time Warner Cable has responded to the massive criticism of its new plan to cap user bandwidth with a new pricing model. Users will be given a grace period in which to assess their pricing tier. The "overages" will be noted on their bill, allowing them to change either their billing plan or their usage patterns. "On top of a 5, 10, 20, and 40-gigabyte (GB) caps, the company said this week that it would offer an additional 100GB tier for heavy users. Prices (so far) would range from $29.95 to $75.00 a month, with users charged an extra dollar for every GB more they download, although that charge is also capped at $75. An 'unlimited' bandwidth plan, therefore, tops out at $150."
You have to draw a line somewhere, and put a price under it.
Really unlimited, we have caned it for three years now...
Now I know what my problem is; I haven't beaten my internet connection often enough.

Coming soon, Telco Definitions..
Instead of 800 Minutes a month (every call rounded up to nearest minute)
they are going to release:
40 GB A MONTH*
*All transfers rounded up to nearest Gigabyte..
What are we going to do tonight Brain?
I'm getting a way better deal than this. 6Mbps down/512 up, unlimited bandwidth, and it's $45/mo. My ISP is Time Warner.
Oh shit...
Oblig snide comment about how most of these are not really oblig comments.
