Re: More Populist ISP Bashing from BBR said by kaila:If things are that hard and that complex, then TWC should quit the broadband business and get out of the way. Their stockholders will thank them. Most of us do have a choice its called going back to dialup
You can get it for 5 to 10 bucks a month and there is no limit on bandwidth transfer
Beside if you can't use it for video, and if all you do is check your email and surf the web little bandwidth is sufficient
Road Runner, ATT both can go to hell :| |

That's true... but most of us would probably use a lot less then that since all we gonna do with it is email and buy stuff online 
with a slower connection it would be impossible to use 15gb in a month
if road runner want us to use a lot less then offer slower tier for a lot less
256/128kbps for 9.99 a month
512/256kbps for 14.99 a month
1mbps/384kbps for 19.99 a month
They don't want that, it won't make them good money and it will save the consumer lots of money
They want to gouge those high paying user a lot more then what they have already paid
That's 44.95 a month or 59.95 a month plus 1 dollar per GB
For 24.95 a month you're capped at 384k/128k for a mere 5gb pretty shitty matey 
10gb at 44.95 a month
20gb at 59.95 a month
doubling that to 10 to 40gb is still pretty much the same crap with the same overage charges of 1 dollar per gb. |
