Time Warner 7Mbps Upgrades Continue → Speed Upgrades...

...so one can find the hidden caps even faster.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't remember hearing much, if anything at all, about RR imposing hidden caps...

Edit: RR does not impose hidden caps- link: »[TWC] Does RR cap heavy downloaders? Perhaps investigating would be a bit wiser then crying wolf.

I don't download a whole lot all the time but every once in a while I will push it on bandwidth. So far I've not found a cap or have had any notification from TWC in Cincinnati about any caps.

Cod is correct. There are no enforced caps with TWC.

Yeah, I have a friend that works at TWC here and he also just confirmed that they do not impose caps.

DMW

I have not heard of RoadRunner having any unrealistic caps or any "hidden" caps. I'm not even sure RR imposes any caps at all. I have had RR for many years and have done a lot of downloading and have never had any caps.

Good to know.

roadrunner has never had hidden caps. an ohio branch did once have caps, but they stated those clearly, and later repealed them

I had RR for approx 7 yrs. In that time I received several letters and phone calls regarding my bandwidth usage. I was told that if I exceeded 10GB/month upstream one more time, they would cancel my service. However, they did tell me I could get twice (20GB/month) upstream cap if I was willing to pay 2x the monthly cost, by switching over to business class. Even then, they hounded me and told me I could only use 666MB/per day (666MB x 30 = 20GB). So they DO enforce caps and for me it was a daily cap, and monthly cap.

I switched to DSL about 2 yrs ago and haven't looked back. I pay 1/2 the price and get almost twice the upstream and have never had anyone question my usage.

There was some capping back in 2003, but it was very market specific. They're a little disjointed on the managerial side. Markets that had them ultimately got rid of them as far as I know...

Right on topic there with Road Runner...

... or am I missing something?

This is right off RoadRunner's web site for cable modem usage. Nuff said

Operator reserves the right to implement specific limits on the maximum amount of bandwidth consumption available to Subscriber per month for the level of ISP Service subscribed for by Subscriber. Once such limits are implemented, if Subscriber exceeds the bandwidth consumption limits assigned to the level of ISP Service for which Subscriber has subscribed in any month, Operator (or ISP if ISP is billing Subscriber for ISP Service) has the right to limit bandwidth consumption by Subscriber in excess of such level by any means available to Operator or ISP, including suspension of ISP Service, and/or to impose additional fees and charges on Subscriber.
