| A trial here, a trial there, we'll make more money somewhere So, in TX, they will be testing the new "over 5Gb - charge by the GB" internet plans, justified by the "network abusers" downloading too much. And elsewhere they'll be giving users the new option to download up to 600 HBO movies a month.
Nothing like charging more to cure a problem you created.

| In the future, they will get to double dip. 1) for being a HBO subscriber and 2) for going over your monthly download cap. How convenient. Does HBO have anything worthwhile? Besides Entourage & Curb Your Enthusiasm, is it really worth the extra money for the "new" release movies? I can think of better things to do with my time and money. |

Albany, CA | said by wolverine_99:Besides Entourage & Curb Your Enthusiasm, is it really worth the extra money for the "new" release movies? Entourage isn't as good as it used to be but Curb is getting better (last season was good). Flight of the Conchords is why I'm keeping my HBO subscription.
However, I think it's crazy that Time Warner is doing this considering they are implementing 40GB DL caps at the same time. They must really want to see this fail... |

| Have you seen any hard facts from TW about the 40Gb cap? The only thing I've seen is a speculation based on canadian telco plan, where it ranged from 5Gb up depending on the connection speed.
