[Night201]

Good Luck to all of you who use TW for Internet Access.

 

[aphex]

ouch that sucks... glad im not on TW

 

[Doggiedog]

Noooo!!! :Q

 

[Anubis]

i wonder if they will charge us more?: my bro always downloadin stuff. he had 13 divxs goin all at 100k/s the other day. on kazaa. not a good sign. anyway seein as there are less the 20 people in my town that have cable and no one lives near anyone else i dont thing it will be much of a problim

 

[Linflas]

Personally I wish they would implement a tiered system similar to DSL. I am willing to pay for my bandwidth usage and would love to have the option to pay a bit more and be allowed to run a server and have the upload limit raised. These are all things you can do with DSL but not with most cable systems at the moment.

Bet if you looked hard enough you'd find the RIAA having there hand in this somehow.

 

[Nitemare]

I wonder if they will give you a discount if they were to overpopulate your node which would result in a slower than exexcted download speed..Didn't think so

Knew it was only a matter of time before AOHell showed through. At least they don't make you download and user AoHell's interface.

 

[Jumpem]

#!*^%#$&%@^%#! I guess I'm screwed, since I download >20 gigs a month. Any opinions on satellite ISP's?

 

[BDawg]

Aaaargh, looks like ye pirates will actually have to buy CDs and DVDs, like the rest of responsible society.

 

[BigJohnKC]

This new policy is suck. :|

 

[Night201]

Bump

 

[Shaftatplanetquake]

Wonder if they will offer me a discount because I sometimes go a month d/ling fewer than 100 megs. Didn't think so.

If your paying for the damn service your paying for the damn service. If they want to charge you $1 for every hundred megs of data that flows your way, thats fine, but this is straight up BS.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Ouch... That sucks. Good thing I'm not on TW.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Thanks for the URL Night201, gotta keep an eye on my cable modem provider to make sure I'm not affected.

 

[Lucky]

Yeah I read this a couple days ago. I figured everyone here already knew. :Q Sucks because Im on TW as well.

 

[Lucky]

Oh, and I have a sneaking suspicion this is coming about because of the 54 billion write off AOL took. Looks like they overpaid-severely-for time warner.

 

[i3rYs0n]

OMG, that sucks. Looks like i'm gonna have to dish out cash majorly, cuz almost everyone in my development has cable acess (road runner)

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

[Vortex22]

Oh $*%)#$(%&$)%(!!!!
Damn I'm screwed now. :|

 

[yakko]

Oh well.

 

[freegeeks]

over here it's very simple -- when you are going over your monthly 20 gig they put you on smallband
repeat this 3 times and they ask you to upgrade to a different (read pricier) subscription --
if you refuse they kick you out

 

[Frosty3799]

poooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

"Aaaargh, looks like ye pirates will actually have to buy CDs and DVDs, like the rest of responsible society." -- BDawg

I resent that statement. I do download some music and I've downloaded some VCD's but consider this... I own about 125 DVD's between movies and music DVD - just picked up "Spy Game" today in fact. I also own well over 250 music CD's. Still want to call me a pirate, buddy? Think I'm hurting the MPAA or MIAA? Think they're pissed at a criminal like me? How many DVD's or CD's do you own? Who do you think the music/record industry wants as a customer? Me or you?

You "holier than thou's" make me sick. Next time try and think before you shoot your mouth off with a statement like that...

 

[Ameesh]

hahahaha suckers i have comcast .... er .... n/m

 

[Nocturnal]

this seriously sucks. i have rr. damnit. even though im not a heavy user, ill still worry "oh crap did i go over the limit? will i go over the limit?" you know what i mean?

 

[Squisher]

To all of you saying "I'm glad I'm not on TW", it will only be a short lived bout of gladness.

Once the other cable providers see advantages to charging for bandwidth they will all want to follow suit.
