Re: What's normal usage? How does it compare to the caps? said by WhatsNormal :
TWC obviously wouldn't make the caps so low as to force a majority of their users into upgrades/overages as that would also drive huge subscriber losses.
Most areas of the country have at best a duopoly on providing high speed internet to residences. AT&T has already stated it is also interested in caps. IOW TWC is banking on most of its internet subscribers having little choice but to accept the caps. This isn't just about numbers, it's also about gouging consumers and limiting competition. |

| As posted in the TWC forum, TWC allows other ISPs on their network. Earthlink, Localnet, and NYCT.net now, Juno and AOL when those companies offered it. Those companies don't have caps.
Maybe more ISPs should push to get on TWCs network and not have caps. |

Is this correct? The info I got is the ISP's piggybacking on RR infrastructure would all be affected by caps also... I have no idea myself. |

| I can't speak for any others riding the TWC network (I didn't think there were any?), but Time Warner Cable has stated that Earthlink will also be imposing caps. |

All Triad Time Warner customers will be affected, including those getting service through providers such as EarthLink who use Time Warner’s cable. Existing customers will have to choose a capped plan at the end of current contracts.
