ISP's are Thinking About Charging per Gigabyte?!

If Net Neutrality isn't enough, get ready to say good-bye to the days of unlimited Internet access. According to an article in PC World's April 2008 edition on page 33, they are reporting that Time Warner is considering putting a cap on how much one can download (use of bandwidth) per month. This is very serious. The positive on capping how much a household or individual could download is that you may get away with paying a lot less than you are now if you a light user of the Net, otherwise if you are a moderate to heave user then you will have to shell out a lot more than the average of $55.00 per month for your broadband. I can see this as being a shot in the foot as well with any broadband provider with Verizon's FIOS on the scene. Since cable companies are regulated and telephones are not, they may end up offering a huge advantage over cable companies in the future. If you are a Time Warner user, call and submit a comment on your opinion on the thought of this as to whether or not you agree as a current consumer.
