I don't use Time-Warner, but AT&T Yahoo! DSL and it appears they may also follow suit :0( Well, I believe I'm on a low ranking of using up bandwidth, as I don't do online gaming, video watching or downloading too often.

I think it depends on how much they're going to charge and if they're going to screw the people over who don't use it for such bandwidth hogging things. Then again, we're talking about Time-Warner here. I've only heard crappy things about them.

Well...they're corporations, so their goal is to squeeze as much cash out of the consumer while providing the crummiest service possible. You know, the old race to the bottom! Anybody who's ever used MSN knows what I'm talking about.

Made me kick my computer, my hard drive said, "Hey, don't shoot the messenger!"
:D
I should say "provide the cheapest service possible," which is generally crummy.
