| TW is heading down the wrong path I have TW. If they start metering I will be gone.
The turbo package is $70 a month I believe which is more than what I pay right now. (without bundling)
Also, a 40 gb cap they say is only 33 hours of gaming. I can do that in a week and that doesn't include me watching Hulu 6 days a week or using bittorrent or even skype.
Definitely would switch to slow DSL if it came to metered crap like this.

1.5 express 13gb a day
3.0 pro 26gb a day
6.0 elite 54gb
Their so called caps is a way to control your usage or pay more if you don't abide by their nazi scheme |

Go read the posts again. The 33 hours of gaming is for *one* GB, so you would have 1,320 hours of gaming on the 40GB package, if you did nothing else. That's 55 full days worth of gaming time. Posts like yours perpetuate the FUD with inaccurate information. |

Posts like yours perpetuate the FUD with inaccurate information. And is that all on would use a connection for? No. It also said 1 GB is 3 hours of SD video streaming. So that's 120 hours of video streaming a month or 4 hours a day IF that's all you did. It's not hard to stream 4 hours a day if you have multiple computers in the home. If I decide to rent a HD movie from Xbox Live or Itunes once a week( which I do not find outrageous ) that's 24 GB in a month. Of course I could avoid using that bandwidth if I rent movies from TW instead. Oh wait NOW I get it. |

In any event you honestly think you wouldn't eat up 40GB in a month?
