Time Warner

It appears that Time Warner may be moving in reverse while Comcast presses ahead towards DOCSIS 3.0.

I'm sorry...but for $45 / month, I should be able to use all of my 8 megabits 24/7 if I want to. In terms of the value of bandwidth in Japan, my 8mbit internet should only cost $1.13 / month. Obviously, American ISPs have been sitting back, collecting money from us consumers while the rest of the world actually spent some money to upgrade their backend capacity.

There ought to be mass exodus from Time Warner if they implement a bandwidth cap. Unfortunately, 99.99% of Americans have no idea how badly they're getting screwed vis-à-vis Europe and Japan.
