Leaked memo: Time Warner Cable to trial hard bandwidth caps
Metered Internet access is a fact of life for many broadband users around the world, but has been largely a nonfactor when it comes to wired broadband in the US. That may change, according to a memo leaked to the Broadband Reports forums. If the memo is to be believed, Time Warner Cable will be rolling out what it calls “Consumption Based Billing” on a trial basis in the Beaumont, Texas area.
I’v got no problem with as long as two condtions are met:
- SLA are stated and honored by the ISP. If I’m going to be penalized when I go over my bandwidth usage, I think it is only fare that I get some guarantee that I can get the through put that you advertise.
- The median & the average bill should NOT change. It just like Big Media to use changing how bills are calculated as a opportunity to for a defacto price increase without the public knowing about.
