Do we as humans not learn from our own history?
Or I suppose that is only the stupid people.
*sigh* Anyone care to start calling their state reps? My suggestion is to at least file a complaint with the Attorney General  . |

| TWC customer abuse
As much as I love having broadband internet at home, I would sooner use dial-up than pay one CENT to Time Warner.
If people organized a mass exodus from this company, they would quickly die and hopefully be replaced with someone who has more enlightened policies. I would call on ALL TWC customers to call up and cancel your service, even if only for one month. They will get the message! |

Re: TWC customer abuse
it would take more than a month to get the message it would take 4 to 6 months before they would SEE the message. |

1 edit | Lame.
I don't know how reliable a single anonymous story is. Sounds like you guys are a little too ready to jump on the anti-Time Warner bandwagon after this cap nonsense.
How about doing some actual journalism and getting some reliable sources to back this shit up? |

If I lived in Austin, I'd be using GrandeCom. I wish I were lucky to live in a place with a serious (similar speed, etc) competitor to the Goliaths of cable internet. Of course I'm in no better position using Comcast in Houston. |

| Awww, do the TWC execs need a cookie?
I think this is just more TWC pouting. They didn't get what they wanted with caps and overages so they hint that trial markets won't get DOCSIS 3.0. Now it looks like they're saying: "Fine! if you don't want to pay us extra for the bandwidth, we'll just cut you off as we see fit".
I don't particularly have a problem with ISP's pulling the plug on abusers but TWC is being pretty stupid to try the same thing Comcast got their ass chewed off for. Do the execs at TWC even read the news?
This is apparently turrning into a major pissing contest between TWC execs and the public at large.

How about doing some actual journalism and getting some reliable sources to back this shit up? Had you gone to my site (stopthecap), you'd find the individual's entire real name on display. Additionally, I sent him to the local Austin newspaper, where the entire matter got written up as well.
TW denies it's a new policy - they claim they have always suspended accounts for excessive/suspicious use until they "talk" to the customer. But when customers talk to them, they are lectured about their usage before their service gets turned back on. I now have three people in Austin this happened to, all willing to go on the record about it. |

As much as I want to jump down TWC's throat, it kinda diminishes the overall goal if this is in fact NOT true. |

|  TWC treats customers like mushrooms!
 Yes TWC treats customers like a farmer would treat mushrooms, feeding them bullshit and keeping them in the dark. The best part about not being transparent, is that it allows the ISP to be arbitrary. Give a pass to those downloading the right kind of packets and dump those that are downloading the wrong kind. Set invisible low CAPS for those downloading IPTV and Music and let those using their broadband connection for the kinds of downloads that the ISP blesses alone, regardless of how much data they download.
It would be interesting to find out what kind of data Ryan Howard was downloading. Was it blessed or heretical. Time for the AG to investigate the mushroom farmers. |

Re: Lame.
My question (not having visited your website yet) is what the afflicted individuals in Austin are doing about it. Writing to AG, Congressional reps/senators won't likely get instant action, but it is a start. |
