Thats exactly what it is..... LIKE IT REALLY MATTERS!!
I'm also thinking they're crybabies. Why doesn't TWC start posting right here, to exactly say why they think caps as low as 1 gb are more than enough? It's because they aren't. This weekend I ran Windows Update on an Windows XP Pro system that hasn't been updated in a while. All those update downloads alone ended up being over 1 gb.

Also, why would even their customers bother to upgrade to a faster speed if they'll hit a gb limit early in their monthly billing period? If they had reasonable limits that start at 250 to 500 gb, their customers may be able to live with it. These 1, 5, 25, 50 gb limits are a joke and are just gouging their customers.

I live in an area (San Fernando Valley) that is both served by Verizon and AT&T. Often it's just what side of the street you're on that determines what territory you're in. I dare TWC to try and charge different rates, or to determine which areas get upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0, based on what the local phone company is in the same franchise area.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22285054 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:19:23 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22283843 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22283843 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:24:37 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22283347 said by SLD:

Where I live there is NO OPTION accept AT&T DSL. The city fathers saw to that in their awarding service to a single provider so they will have some grumpy clients like :huh:
Here it's the opposite, the only choice for broadband is Comcast HSI, our AT&T CO (formerly Pacific Bell, serves Redwood Valley and Calpella) isn't even equipped for DSL, the closest DSL to us is in Ukiah, 9 miles south.

I couldn't see TWC selling any system in Ohio. And Ohio doesn't even have FiOS and U-Verse is very limited in the cities it's in. So really' they have no worries here.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22280153 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:58:02 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22279484 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22279484 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:55:25 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22279404
I can get TWC, but DSL (Verizon) is tricky since i'm on the fringe of the CO range, and even if I was in range, it would be 3000/768, which is about 1/5 the bandwidth i'm seeing from TWC.

Off topic, The Coyote choke holding the Roadrunner is the best summary for what TWC is doing to its service. Surprised it's not used here. »4.bp.blogspot.com/_qyC51KZhzG8/S···te+1.jpg

They're eventually going to have to renew their franchise agreements and the local governments, those people that actually are forced to live with those services, are going to speak up. The local levels tend to be more effective than the feds anyway.
Too bad because of Verizon's lobbying and legislation that passed because of it, MANY franchises are now state run and not local. Now in many areas locals have fewer rights and abilities to demand concessions for service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22278635 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:45:50 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22278497 said by fifty nine:

There is one advantage that they have that keeps them alive - and that is that they serve areas where there is virtually no competition which forces consumers to subscribe to their service.

If it wasn't for Comcast, my fastest Internet would be 1.5/256 from AT&T. And that's been the fastest that they offer since BellSouth started offering Internet in my area.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22278448 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:59:59 EDT Re: That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22278444 said by fifty nine:

I can, becuase it's not all about speeds and some people could care less. Many people aren't going to see the metered billing now so that battle has been won.

To me, the way I read this, is like Karl said, they're pouting. This is just the next move in a PR campaign. If people stepped back and do NOT respond to this and further force the issue, ie: putting more fuel on their fire, DS3 will come out.

They're eventually going to have to renew their franchise agreements and the local governments, those people that actually are forced to live with those services, are going to speak up. The local levels tend to be more effective than the feds anyway.

It is, however, funny to watch these same PR games played out in public and how they can flame bait the public and government and keep their agenda's moving forward, in the exact direction they want. The best way to deal with THIS particular move is to ignore them. Fight the metered billing front, but this "we're not deploying DS3" card should be ignored.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-That-company-is-finished-22278444 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:59:31 EDT That company is finished http://www.dslreports.com/forum/That-company-is-finished-22278424 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/That-company-is-finished-22278424 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:54:45 EDT
