Re: Metered billing

I too think there is some regulation needed. If they want to meter bill you so they can make more money they can with no reason they do own their internet. but when they lie that is different they are doing it for the same reason whether they lie or not, so why not not lie?

I think it would be better for road runner cable to stop offering internet

Who needs metering crap?

Only a desperate person would want metering because their isn't an unlimited alternative

To those who have service cancel completely, all service with road runner just let them go out of business like the loser they really are.

simple: put the blame on someone else. "[cable companies] have no choice! the user hogs are eating up all the bandwidth. it's for the good of all. etc. "

compare that to: "We want more of your money."

Pleasant Hill, MO		 I know it does not sound good(neither do as one is a lie and the other is just rude) but at least have the balls to tell people you want to skrew them over in stead of lie to them saying it is good for them.
