And Time Warner begins imposing bandwidth caps
http://www.businessweek.com/technol
The worst part? Time Warner Cable offers four cap levels of 5, 10, 20, and 40 GB
5 GB? For a whole month? Seriously?
I hope this plan backfires. I suspect the real motivation for this is to prevent people from just streaming/downloading cable shows (something that I suspect is really hurting Time Warner), but such a harsh limit (even their most expensive cap of 40 GB is harsh, honestly) will do so much more than that for anyone who uses their connection for more than just checking e-mail.
