Milwaukee, WI | Caps Here's the REAL reason for TW's caps, from their 10-K report,
"Technological advancements, such as video on demand, new video formats and Internet streaming and downloading, have increased the number of media and entertainment choices available to consumers and intensified the challenges posed by audience fragmentation. The increasing number of choices available to audiences could negatively impact not only consumer demand for the Company’s products and services, but also advertisers’ willingness to purchase advertising from the Company’s businesses. If the Company does not respond appropriately to further increases in the leisure and entertainment choices available to consumers, the Company’s competitive position could deteriorate, and its financial results could suffer."

| They just don't need to forget there are third-party DSL providers - such as DSLExtreme - that don't have any video/media/portal services, and thus don't care about competition from the internet.
We all knew it was online video and revenue, the whole Netflix/XBox deal has caused a whole lot of people using large amounts of data.
But there's got to be a way to NOT limit the amount of data transferred. Moreover business accounts should never be affected by these kinds of caps. |

Whoa, boombie. That's an awesome find. And exactly what us customers have been saying, and they've been denying this whole time. They can't deny this now...I wonder what they'll say when this gets more attention? |
