Re: Why bother - Usage caps will stifle use said by MacLeech:With TWC, that 5GB limit is a trial in one area for the lowest tier, with usage above that charged extra. NO OTHER systems outside that one around Beaumont, Texas has "caps". Higher limits for higher tiers of service, with usage above the limits charged extra. While I am against Caps, I feel that the cap should be based on full speed usage measured in connect time.
IOW: If it would take me X Minutes at full speed to reach the lower tier cap, if the highest tier has a max speed of 5 times the lower tier, its cap should ALSO be 5 times as large so I get the same amount of full speed time. Any cap based on GB is cheating if I can reach that cap faster on the faster tier. Basing the caps on Usage Volume not Usage Time to get that Volume is smoke and mirrors not a true method of allocating the access. |
