Finally.  We were beginning to wonder if anyone was conscious to what Time Warner was doing to customers down in Beaumont.  No wonder Time Warner found “success” with the program.  Of all of the cities Time Warner proposed testing this rationing plan, Beaumont has always been the quietest and least likely to make noise about it.  But residents have started to change their tune once they realized other Time Warner “experiment” cities managed to successfully get the cap plan dropped, at least for now.  So why are they still stuck with it?

Check out Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) being interviewed and using the slam-it-home point that Time Warner is already making a ton of money on broadband priced just the way it is right now.

A pretty powerful piece.  Time Warner comes across as exceptionally arrogant in Beaumont.  They would not provide anyone to talk on-air, and their written statement, while acknowledging the program was driven back in other cities, is working just fine for them in Beaumont, whether customers like it or not.  Pretty chilling and smacks of arrogance.  Of course, in Beaumont, AT&T is experimenting with caps of their own, so the point that customers have no uncapped alternative is particularly powerful in this part of Texas.
