Re: Monitoring Tools The least they can do is provide users the tools needed to monitor than own usage.
The funny thing is Charter probably spends much more on providing phone/e-mail and other technical support to users than it does for network upgrades. I suspect the kinds of users who will be hitting this cap (myself included) are also the kind of people who never bother Charter with mundane technical support calls. 
Not to mention the fact that realistically, Charter shouldn't give a damn if I download a lot of content overnight, for example. During peak hours I can almost understand, but explain to me how Charter suffers if I schedule a multi-gigabyte download for midnight?
And yes, I do legally acquire content that I can - iTunes music, licensed software, etc. - but there are some things that can't be acquired legally because there are no reasonable means to do so (overseas television shows and the like.)
Not to mention the fact that everyone in my family uses Netflix and Hulu for streaming. We're screwed.

1 edit | Do (most)DSL ISPs have caps? I know that they(for the post mart) don't have the speeds cable does, but I for one would rather have a 5m DSL with NO caps than a 10m calbe with a cap, syre it may take longer to buffer a video, but I have time, and if theres a good game that comes out, with great online play I COULD play all I want, but I don;t have DSL and don;t know if most have caps. I do know that DSLs(for the most part) don;t try to prussure you into a bundle. |
