Time Warner Cable Will Increase Caps > All This Talk About CAPS, but....

...if they go ahead and implement it, what stops a user from changing their IP address?
Folks, the majority of users are on DYNAMIC IPs, not STATIC.
Someone who has a low cap goes and changes their IP address by changing their MAC address in the router or on the only computer they have, and bang - they have reset the clock to zero, beginning anew with a clean slate.
The only way CAPS are ever going to work fairly and correctly is if everyone is assigned a STATIC IP. In this fashion, everyone will be monitored fairly and correctly.

A side note here; I do not condone the usage of CAPS as it heralds back the days of early internet usage where your time on the 'net was monitored and billed by the minute. It is wrong, it is backward thinking, and most of all downright greedy in this day and age. If ISP providers cannot maintain the networks they have, then they should sell it to someone who can provide what the public wants or set speeds to where they can comfortably maintain the plant. The speed race is nothing more than bragging rights.
I would settle for a stable 6gb to 10gb connection, than a 50gb connection that fluxes wildly all day every day because the ISP cannot maintain proper control of it.
