Fine they want me to have it ill pay for the router but nothing more. If there is something about DOCSIS I learned it makes their system do so much much more for about no effort on their part. $149 a month im gone, $99.95 a month im gone and I wont even miss it. Im tired of these games. The democrats in NY just got back control of the the senate. Hold onto you wallets.... here comes millions of new taxes and fees to go along with your new internet costs. So much more I want to say but can not. DOCSIS 3 is almost old tech. Fine they want me to have it ill pay for the

That's like being given a Corvette and then being told you can drive it as fast as you want...for 500 meters, then you have to stop. 150 GB cap with 50 MBIT service?

I would bet they may in the future if they have not yet. With them just announcing their Chrome OS, and it relying on the internet so much (from what I can tell), caps are going to hurt this effort.

No Canada is a nice country. Is it Canadians? No they are a nice bunch of people who also suffer the same economic worries we do here. Actually I think they have it a bit better because their exports are mostly raw materials and much of that comes to the USA. It only slowed down because WE slowed down. Now is it the Canadian providers and or the Canadian government. The answer would be a resounding yes. How much from each I will not venture a guess (what percent it is) No person in a board room would ever dream of something so absurd thinking it would actually work. Any person in any board room has to be crazy any sort of caps will work. It rests with the people’s ability to live without tv or internet and just say NO for a while. See what the stock holders think of that TW stock sitting at $.10 per share. Looking at the graphs, comments, and outside sources people are indifferent to the whole thing they do not understand what is at stake. People want jr. Massa out, Schumer out, and Paterson out. The lobby bucket will make that happen. Cuomo and Spitzer could be in. Spitzer made a very good NY AG. These are the people that we need and get their ear first. Anyone lesser is just a waste of time. Massa blesses his heart just how long does it take a bill to get to Washington? Let me guess it’s still on the drawing table many months later. Schumer love photo ops, TW, Hickey freedom etc. then he just moves on and really does not do anything. Runs his mouth and says we won’t be a test tube…Ok now no test tube but the sharks are still swimming in the tank. Where was the follow up? Where was Massa follow up? There wasn’t any. No BS how it takes a long time. Bush / OB crammed 800 billion through in a couple of weeks. Just say no with the wallet. You lived without cable tv, the internet, and cell phones before you can do it again. Heading for a more serious comment is it Canada? No Canada is a nice country. Is it Canadians?
