Re: Question

said by Unkown User :

Metered billing done correctly probably wouldn't be so bad. You should have a very low connection fee, then base everything else on a reasonable price per GB. That way, grannies and technologically impaired people could have a much smaller bill than what they are currently paying, and only those who really download extreme amounts would be paying extreme amounts.
TWC isn't interested in true metered billing because they want to soak those grannies and technologically impaired people too. Asking a cable company to bill internet at no more than $10/month and $0.25 a GB is like asking them to offer al a carte.

Let's make one thing clear: Neither Time Warner, AT&T or any other company planning on charging by the byte is lacking either capacity or profits. The capacity issues are nullified by technology and smart management, the profit issues is nullified by their 10k's (annual reports). Time Warner is making money hand over fist, and AT&T even more so.

When I see accurate, complete information from TW or AT&T which support their claims I'll gladly agree to their demands. These people have ulterior motives for moving to this billing method, and it has absolutely nothing to do with helping their customers.
