Time Warner Shelves Plans For Tiered Pricing

Posted by timothy on from the meek-will-continue-to-subsidize-the-bold dept.

The FNP writes "Time Warner has postponed their plans to test tiered data caps in Greensboro NC, Rochester NY, San Antonio TX, and Austin TX. This announcement comes shortly after the media started reporting on Eric Massa's opposition and protests planned for this Saturday outside of Time Warner's offices in Greensboro and Rochester." There's also a good piece at Ars on the fall of the current tiered-pricing plans.

    Thanks for the common sense post. So many here think they should just get a free ride. Give me a dumb, fast pipe, don't play games with blocking ports and services and charge reasonably for bandwidth and traffic and I'm a happy customer. I'm tired of being treated as a LCD (lowest common denominator) customer and not being given sensible choices. I'm tired of being lied to when the ISP's network has issues (i.e. told to reboot endlessly when I can clearly tell where the problem is). Sell me a bona fide business connection without expecting to charge me for integration services or unneeded bells and whistles.
