    WiseOne's Comments, the only way I can see how this could be good is for those who download TONS of songs all the time. I know it had better not screw with the stuff I do as I ONLY download songs from iTunes and rarely at that...

    Well if you play online games a lot, have several kids in the house with computers ext..

    I download games all the time on the net.

    It all depends on the limit they give you...

    When I used to have Direcway they had a 150Mg download limit within 4 hours, you hit that and you barely could surf the web cause it was so slow.(slower then dialup) you had to wait till it trickled back to you and like 150Mg bucket would fill backup..

    I always was hitting that cap....

    This is just another slap in the face for the consumer by big corps.and out of control big goverment.
    Time Warner probably has some FCC items on the table and part of their trade off during negotiations with the feds will be taxes collected off the metered Internet access.:biggrin_25513:
