    In reply to How Much Time Warner's Broadband Caps Will Screw You
    I live in San Diego and am thinking of dropping TWC Roadrunner for ATT DSL (FiOS not available in my area). Anyone have any ATT horror stories to share first?

    In reply to How Much Time Warner's Broadband Caps Will Screw You
    Internet demand is rising at a rate that could outpace capacity within a few years. According to industry analysts, the infrastructure may not be able to accommodate the explosion of online content by 2012. This could result in Internet brownouts.


    That's not our problem, you schmuck! We pay you a lot of money for our internet access! Maybe you should use some of it to increase capacity. Don't go all "poorly-managed public utility so we need to conserve" on us!

    There are times I look at my crappy Actiontec router/modem, and kiss it because it's hooked into my FiOS.

    @Xeno has nothing useful to contribute: And I'm bent enough to invite anouther router into our little "thing"... I couldn't help it. That AirPort Extreme was just so sexy sitting there, ActionTec and I both agreed we would hardwire it.


    Uh. Wait, was that out loud?

    There's now another D-link antenna hooked into the Linksys, cuz I like a little "ethnic mix" action.

    Oh come on!! Here I am about to drop my cable and just live off the net, downloading shows, anime, and movies as always, and then they announce this? Hopefully they stop this madness before it spreads to NYC!


    If it does hit us, I'll definitely be looking at competition that has no such restrictions.


    What's the point of having the world at your fingertips if it costs you to get more than a grope?

    @konakazi: I hope you don't live in a large apartment building. If you do, you might want to see if your building has a contract with TWC preventing you from going with (ack) Cablevision.


    Cablevision and TWC have a pretty good duopoly going on which has been screwing New Yorkers for years.

    My ISP is a local cable company, I was afraid that they would just bend over and drop trow whenever a media owner contacted them regarding a pirate user...


    But I recently found out that they don't police their own network at ALL, nor do they cooperate with rights holders. All they will do is send the user an email basically equating to: "ppsssst. I think they may be on to you..."

    @bpapa9013: That's the kind of company I'd be glad to have for internet! There wouldn't be grumbling like there is now when it comes time to pay Comcast. In my area Adelphia used to be hands off and very fast. Unfortunately, Comcast bought them out, shut down the local offices, restricted ports, raised rates, and reduced speeds.

    @BigDragon: Yeah they have really good customer service and a nearly cutting edge network that covers all of the city they are mainly based in. My current package is ~$50/mo for 21Mb with a 60GB monthly cap (but they are really lenient on overages, you have to go like 10GB over before they charge you, and its only $1/GB, plus you can extend your cap by pre-paying $0.50/GB).


    Sh!t I feel like they should be paying me...


    So to offset my shilling above, the only creepy thing about them is that the same company owns them (the cable/internet/phone co.) AND the local newspaper AND the only local TV channel/studio. So we have our own home-grown media monopoly (boo)...
