Port Orange, FL | Maybe just a mistake? I think TWC is going to see people rather not be capped, even if they don't have access to FiOS and are on a slower connection. Not everything is about speed, and metered billing circa 1990 didn't work for dial-up with metered hours. I don't want to have to check some meter every day to make sure my bill isn't going to be a few $100 bucks more.
I can understand TWC thinking that they need to protect their own video services, but even in that case they priced them selves out of the market. It just killed me knowing I was paying for channels I never watched or wanted. Most of the TV I was watching any ways was network TV that you get free through OTA broadcasts.
But trying to put a cap on the new medium that people are starting to use to the fullest to save the old medium is not going to work. Is only going to give a big advantage to smaller providers who are trying to break in to the market knowing providing no caps when only 5-10% of the market ever uses more then what their cost to provide. There are always ways to control those users without placing caps.
I have a feeling that just like AT&T's recent TOS "mistake" That TWC is going to come out and say that this cap plan was a mistake and they were really never planning to do it... |
