Re: I say again.

Time Warner is the main competition for FiOs in North Texas. How does Time Warner expect to compete with FiOS with caps like that? You know that Verizon is going to have an advertising field day, citing that not only does Time Warner offer inferior speeds but a usage that cap where you will get charged up the wazoo if you go over.
TW will lose customers left and right. And that's when these idiotic caps go away. IF they needs to have caps there are SMART ways of doing it. A flat monthly cap doesn't really solve the problem. Until people reach their caps they can still max out their connection which would still cause problems. Then if everyone has maxed out thie caps now no one is using their lines. Also overage fees even at outrageous prices won't stop anyone that has the money to pay.

All these ISPs could have cap say between 8 AM to 11 PM when traffic would be highest at say 5 GB per day. If you go over then your speed gets knocked down to 756 kbps until 11 PM. From 11 PM to 8 AM no cap. This would be a smarter way of managing bandwidth.
