Re: ?

I don't think TWC is going to implement caps on a nationwide level. The Los Angeles area has got a pretty steep competition for TWC, with many FIOS deployments in Verizon Territory, and a healthy U-Verse expansion in AT&T territory which also offers 18/1.5 as an internet subscription for $65.

TWC is a franchised corporation, which means every market has their own digression in implementing speeds, for which price, and on what terms. TWC in Los Angeles would be shooting themselves in the foot if they would implement a cap. They are already losing customers because of a mass-media advertisement onslaught by Fios, U-Verse, DISH, and DirecTV, all available in this area, and they would be absolutely stupid, and inviting a big fat FIOS and U-Verse ad campaign if they implement any caps.

TWC in the Los Angeles area is a micture of TWC, and former Comcast and Adelphia networks after the big breakup of Adelphia, and they have mismanaged the conversion of those two networks so badly they had to fire their entire management, gotten FCC investigations on the process, and have LOST a pretty significant amount of customers who were fed up. TWC is doing pretty good now, as in 2008 they got their act together. But with the volatile competition as it is in this area, I don't think they will want to shoot themselves in the foot.

I know that I for one thing WILL indeed move to a U-Verse subscription if they were to implement caps.
