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."

Biz connection

[mgkimsal2]

Doesn't seem to be an easy way to get biz connection. I've submitted forms a few times to them, which is (was?) the only way you can seem to contact them about getting a biz-class connection. They don't seem to want my business that much, but then, they don't really care. In my neighborhood, they're the only player for broadband. I live 4 miles from an Embarq regional headquarters building, and Embarq sees fit to send me glossy mailers to get me to sign up for DSL, *but they don't provide DSL service to my area*. They just provide annoying glossy mailer service. :/
