One problem with streaming, bandwidth caps...

With the caps being proposed in my area (apparently we're going to be a "test" area at 5GB per month and $1 per GB above that) I'd get about 1.5 HD movies before being charged (which would come down to about $4 a movie after that) not to say the sky is falling but I have a feeling caps like this will be a cash cow and we'll start seeing this more and more.

The $35 NF subscription is bad enough, if this happens I think it's Redbox time.

Time Warner Cable has no bandwidth caps. You must be thinking of Comcap.

Protip: TWC had plans to do that a year ago. NOTHING. HAS. CHANGED.

They are NOT currently charging per gig, and they currently have NO bandwidth cap.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, Time Warner Cable is indeed superior to Comcast, which DOES have a cap RIGHT NOW.
