| Why no outrage against ATT? Why aren't people complaining about ATT's ongoing rape plans? The big monopoly, newly rebuilt, is badder than ever. |

Give it a little time. with these idiots at TW continually hanging themselves in regards to their own practices and policies, the attention will be focused on all carriers including the newly rebuilt Deathstar!
What surprises me is that there are no politicians sticking their neck out for the consumers. You could build a decent resume on fighting the monopolistic tactics of these carriers. For years we heard about "Big Oil" gouging the consumer but nothing about Big Binary! |

Not Karl, but most of the media I believe has/had forgotten about the AT&T trials or are confused with the details. During the TWC posts a few weeks ago, a lot of other publishers were making comparisons to AT&T's "unlimited" service forgetting the fact that they are doing the very same type of trials as TWC. AT&T is also being a little bit sneakier about how customers fall in to the metered billing trial - as another poster pointed out, AT&T is still at the slow boil phase. |

AT&T is traditionally a lot more sophisticated on the PR front than Time Warner Cable, which I think explains a lot of it. It also helps that as noted last week, people in those trial markets don't know they're on metered billing until after they sign up for service.
Rochester, NY is also a more technologically savvy market than I suspect Reno or Beaumont is. People in Rochester generally understood the broader implications of shifting the business model as the advent of HD video approaches... |

| You think that having your $14 million a year CEO call your customers confused for not wanting to pay $1-$2 per gigabyte in the middle of a recession might have been bad form?  |
|
| Bad form?...just it bit. Every business in the country is re-evaluating their business models searching for that elusive efficiency level that offsets the recession. This model takes the cake.
Lower the service, then insult the consumer when he/she shows discourse. This is certainly a Darwinian approach at business!

For years we heard about "Big Oil" gouging the consumer but nothing about Big Binary! I really hope that AT&T gets the same attention as TWC, What makes AT&T worse is they are being way more sneaky about the whole ordeal, I hope that AT&T really gets bombarded by the press if they move further into their testings.
And what the heck happened to comcast? don't they already cap people now? Why are they not under the flame? |
|
| Comcast has a cap...its at 250 GB, not 5.
Comcast is showing upgrades via DOCSIS 3, TW is only surgically upgrading if they do it at all.
Brian Roberts isn't out implying his customers are stupid and that gouging the customer actually benefits the customer, Time Warner is!
