Re: So Charter is going to go to metered service huh? If they actually do this, they are going to almost have to have the cap tied to the speed. Something like 200GB for 5meg(lowest tier), 400GB for 10meg, and unlimited for 16meg(or whatever the highest tier is currently) would be acceptable. Unfortunately it looks like they are talking more like 5GB,20GB, and 40GB (all caps per month).
Edit: Another thing that could eliminate a lot of this problem is if they did not watch or keep track of the traffic between say 11pm and 7am. For the vast majority of users the system does not need to be "snappy" during those hours, so bandwidth hogs would essentially not effect the system for those hours. |

So are you saying is if Charter had a 40 GB cap, but only have useage between 7 AM and 10:59 PM count towards that cap? Kind of like cell phone where between 9 PM and 6 AM you get unlimited minutes? |

I still do not like the 40GB part but yes, in concept sorta like the cell phone thing. |
