Re: Agreed!

I did 30GB within a couple of hours on friday night with my FIOS 50/20 connection. I couldn't imagine having a 20Gb cap like that. I use beteeen 1TB and 2TB each month now.
20GB
is a crazy cap with a 7mbs internet connection.

I've already done a little over 30GB this month and it's mostly from Netflix service and a few Xbox downloads.

TWC's current capping scheme is way too low. At least Comcast got it right, even if they don't have their meter out yet.

20GB / (7mbit / 8 bit / 1024MB/GB) / 60 / 60 = 6.5hrs

Their cap only allows you to use your service for 6.5hrs in a month.

6.5/720(hrs in a month) = .9% of the time in a month. So your 40-60 dollar a month fee that used to get you 100% usage for a month will be reduced to usage that amounts to less than one percent of the time in one month. That's a huge service cut.

7mbit / 8bits / 1024MB/GB * 60seconds * 60minutes * 24hrs * 30 days / 1024GB/TB = 2214.84 GB max download in one month.

That means with full usage your bill which was previously 40 dollars a month is now (2214.84-20GB)*1$/GB + $40 = $2234.84 a month. That is a price increase of 5,487.1%.

If you used 250g a month your effective bill goes from $40 to $270 a month. An increase of 575%. Unlimited business class service is cheaper than that.

Oh and they are charging you 2 dollars a gigabyte for the first 20 just to really rub it in.
