Unlimited Internet Service

DailyTech - Time Warner: Unlimited Internet for $150 Per Month

Quote:
Bandwidth limit of the plans used in Texas eventually were raised from 5 to 40GB per month up to 10 to 60GB per month with prices of $25 to $65 per month, depending where the subscriber lives. A new 100GB is now available for $75 per month. Additional data costs $1 per extra GB used in the plan, up to $75 extra. This puts an unlimited cap at $150 per month, with users free to use as much data as they wish.
Not bad! Unlimited internet for $150 a month.

oh wait, I'm getting unlimited internet for $29.99

I guess someone has to pay for all the streaming. Why not bill the consumers. Nice going TWC

This is complete fail.


But then again we have FiOS, so no worries about caps.

I'm not worried about caps with FiOS until it happens. And by the way that they are building their network, then I will assume it won't be coming anywhere in the near future.

I wonder how long this is going to take to reach the small-time cable providers. Not looking forward to that.

sonic, its not based on capacity... its based on an opportunity to MAKE MONEY.

Fios is as much a possibility as any of them.
