Re: [TWC] Pricing model changing soon

I've bought/sold and managed ISP's. Yes ... 5% of the subs use 50% of the bandwidth. The only reason you need that type of bandwidth is for illeagal P2P multimedia content.

I don't want to have my bill go up due to abuse ... just as I don't my water bill to go up as the idiot down the street leaves his water rose running 24/7 on the street.

That is just complete bullshitz. I use my xbox to download legally purchased movies. I use netflix streaming movies. Somebody is using the internet in my house all the time and none of it is for illegal stuff.

RR is just trying to cash in on the bandwidth that is going to be required for the increase video that will be downloaded with all of the new services that are coming in 2008.

P2P is just the "code word" to get people up in arms. It's BS.

As for your water bill..guess what it does go up if people abuse it. It's called supply and demand. Same thing with gas.. why do you think gas prices go up? But the difference is that neither of these types of service/products have ever billed themselves as unlimited or always on (or available).

The only way to stop this is for the people of Beaumont to not buy the service at all. It should get all of the media attention it can. I'm sure this is not going to be on the front pages of the shiny brochures that RR will be providing. It will be hidden somewhere with asterisk.
