Bradenton, FL | Being flexible is key We can't say that TWC will not institute low caps after the test trials are complete. If they thought a 5gig cap was going to be a problem, they would of instituted a more generous cap for there test trials. TWC says that 95% of there users use only use on average up to 40 gigs a month but no hard data has been presented. I find it hard to be believe that is true.
I love when people say, this said amount is generous. That because I only use the web to surf a few sites and get a few emails, that's all the next person should be doing. To me a statement like that says we all need to conform with each other and do the same thing. That a person making $60,000 a year is to much, that making $40,000 is generous and we just take the other $20,000 from you.
Granted there are a few people who download 24/7 and those people could be handled accordingly. If a company feels those people are going overboard, you just cancel there internet access and be done with it. If TWC wants to get rid of those customers anyways, then what is the difference?
Right now the internet is flexible for me, I can download 10 gigs one month, 100 gigs the next, 50 gig the next month and so on. I don't have to keep looking over my shoulder and wonder, have I gone over my gigs for this month? That is one of the reasons why I switched cell phone providers. I can talk as much as I want and I don't have to worry about if I went over my minutes and getting this HUGEEEEEE bill that month.
As I said before, I use Brighthouse which is a reseller of Road Runner. If TWC implements these caps, then I will either switch to 3mb Verizon service or use my cell. I maybe going down in speed by switching to Verizon but at least I can still be flexible. I won't have to pay outrageous money just so I can download the webpage faster. Waiting a few seconds longer for the page to load won't make no difference to me.
