Re: DSL has no caps!

Apparently neither does my time warner... I called asking about speed options for upgrading, and i asked what my cap would be for the various plans. She said to me "The only caps there are is how fast you can download, there are no other caps." I asked just to make sure, "There is no maximum amount of data transfer in 1 month?" She replied with a "NO" almost sounding upset that i kept asking. So, those with time warner rr there are no caps.

This was my original reason for stating DSL not having caps. This "gripe" applies to a very small percentage of people. I actually agree with other posters (although disagree with how they presented themselves) that this should not have ranked in the top 8.

Some DSL companies have caps, although not any of the major ones... that I know of.

MOST Cable companies have caps, and only 1 [or maybe a bit more] major one doesn't.

COX [mine] has caps and tells you what they are.
Charter has caps as well, not sure if they tell you.
Comcast has invisible caps unless they recently changed their policy and I missed it.

Those are all major ISPs and all of the customers they serve are not a small percentage of people.

If your ISP doesn't have caps, be happy, but the fact remains that many do.

Since when did Charter start capping? I haven't read any anyone complaining about it.
