I was listening to the Howard Clark radio show and he mentioned how Time Warner Cable was gonna charge their subscribers by how many kbs they use. That basically means that if you were to watch a video on your computer (family guy episodes, south park, and such), that the amount of kbs in the video adds to your bill.
Clark said that since we’re watching less television and watching our computers more, they want to charge us for it. I’m hoping they haven’t done it yet or that I heard it wrong.
Has anyone else heard about this?
It’s only for TX right now. They want to put a monthly cap on uploads/downloads, and charge $1 per GB you go over.
That’s such BS. I mean, I pay for 15mbps and they want to punish me for using that? I upload a ton of photography every month, and I backup many gigs of videos online.
I did get rid of cable tv, and just stream over the Internet, but I pay a fairly large Internet bill to get that streaming capability.

Damn. Sorry about your troubles. Hopefully enough people will protest and put Time Warner back in its place.
