I was referring to his deletion of my beating a dead horse gif. I'm thinking they messed up his double Vanilla Rooibos Tea Latte at Starbucks this morning.
Beating a dead horse implies that you feel people are wasting their energy over something futile. In this particular case, I'm happy to see Time Warner get as much negative press as possible. As long as Time Warner continues to describe this new plan as a "trial" the horse is not dead. They are still testing the waters to see what people are willing to put up with. If we don't make a stand now, we will get screwed.

You guys with TW need to beat this horse. I can see what these clowns are doing. They try to establish the lowest cap possible with pricey overage charges. Since the response from consumers has been so loud, they back off a little on the numbers, but still set the precedent of a low cap with expensive overage costs, whatever those numbers may be. This will stifle innovation, and negate any need to upgrade their current service, which they should be doing anyway.
Whats troublesome for me, as a Comcast customer, is what happens when Brian Roberts sees this and thinks "well if TW can get away with it maybe I can too".

Now I know Comcast is currently upgrading, but by TW setting the bar so low, I'm sure others will follow suit. Future upgrades will just be a lowered cap with higher overage costs.
