Time Warner Cable Chokes Its Customers

I don't like the cap idea, but I'm all for tiered pricing. I don't game on-line and rarely download anything larger than a PDF. I want a faster and more reliable connection than 56k, but shouldn't have to buy a huge pipe to subsidize all the heavier users.

And the platform idea is stupid. AOL is dead, Yahoo is dying; platforms are short-lived... And people aren't going to watch movies on their computer, that's why NetFlix spent the money to design a set-top box. Everything is going back to the TV once they get ethernet plugs and hard-drives, which should be very soon.
