Whatever ISP starts advertising no caps is gonna rake in customers hand-over-fist once TWC makes this real.  Let's hope one exists so we can throw our money at them.  With the amount of instant Netflix content I watch (7.25 hours is gone in a couple days easy), I'd be first in line to move to a non-capped provider.

 

I've never really understood by-the-bit pricing anyway (aside from a shameless money grab).  Greedy so-and-sos.

7.25 hours of online video a week (a fraction of the 
60 hours Americans spend watching TV in a week) could end up spending $200 per 
month on broadband usage fees.

That SUCKS!!!

I watch way more Roku 
content than 7.25 hours a month.  

If the commute were not so 
unfathomable I'd move to Wilson just for Greenlight.

I would think that since their stuff runs on the TWC network you'll see ti
there as well. It's all about TWC not seeing what was coming and being
complacent in delivering digital content. Now they want a piece of it.
