Re: That's true. Let some TW customer try to download 16 TB on a residential account and see what happens to them. |

Takes me as long as year to do that, but that is still 5x the capability or 1/5 the price of Comcast's fancy "faster" DOCSIS 3 |

And THAT is pretty much the definition of abuse. |

I've done 8TB on a business cable line. I know that's not the point but at $97.50 for 2*15 - burst to 20 that's still pretty good? |

I've done 6 TB on Time Warner residential before so I bet I could get away with 16 TB. That's already more data than a Comcap customer is allowed to transfer in 2 years.
They really do not give a shit. Bandwidth costs these companies nothing and now that DOCSIS 3.0 has been rolled out congestion is no longer a concern either. Bandwidth capping is straight up for controlling Internet video competition only; there are no other financial reasons behind it. |
