The internet is a collective and an ever-expanding thing, with vast untapped potential that is only capable with the faster speeds. We are living in a time with incredible technology, don't you think we are capable of devising more efficient resources in managing our internet consumption? Time Warner is trying to advertise the horse and buggy in the time of the automobile. It's not going to work, their options only resonate how out of touch and obsolete they are inevitably going to become. You cannot put a cap on the future; It is here, and you must adapt accordingly or die. To put a cap on the internet is to limit the full potential of the internet.

This doesn't just affect heavy users, it affects everyone. People are gonna throw out their routers so bandwidth doesn't get stolen. I'd say 90% of the people are gonna discontinue service no matter what. There will be a strike by customers against TW and it could last for years and bankrupt TW, then we'll have no TV either.

There is also LocalNet, which has a webpage that looks woefully out of date. I was told their speed was actually the same as Road Runner, but don't know that first hand. Frontier will not impose caps or even revisit the cap issue until 2010 at the earliest, according to a company spokesperson. No need to be in a hurry towards Frontier this second, but if you need a cap free guarantee, a multi year price protection agreement will give that. Verizon should be able to tell from the customer service center whether your place is pre-qualified for DSL. Everyone is waiting on Earthlink.

Frontier tried caps last year and will likely try again once TW gets theirs in place. So my parents have Verizon DSL, but I don't know if Verizon will serve my apartment successfully. I looked at the Verizon Turbo package with 7Mbps download & that's what I need for HD from YouTube.
