The publicity is starting to build.

We're seeing a lot of stories with the metered-billing-as-money-grab motif lately, and of course there was the whole issue of TWC backing down on trying out metered billing.

It'll be interesting to see how they come at it next. Because one thing is for sure, they aren't going to let it go.

Yeah, I think we will see a big fight soon. hopefully the costumers will win. I mean no ISP that I know of has even provided any data that supports their claim. I hope we at least up the caps to 1TB if nothing else, but I would rather they go away.

Most of us use far below 1tb
due to limited speed if we all have faster connection that would all soon change

a cap is bad in any amount

you don't need to cap dialup user because its impossible to use a lot of bandwidth given their super slow connection.

with 100mbit, you can use a lot more bandwidth but most of us will probably use a fraction of it cause it all depend what you do with the connection
