that is shitty

really hope it does not go national :(
i stream netflix almost daily and w/ video games and the mass amount of uploading I do

ugh ...

This is fucking rediculous, every one will be paying outrageous fees on top of the already huge rates that we pay just so we can use the media that everything is going to...IPTV ITunes, Apple TV and streaming media, they see themselves getting faded out on cable television so now they are trying to fuck us this way.....I hope google see's this, lights up all the black fiber they have and give out cheap ass broadband. that would be what happens if everyone else does this

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck them. i have them now and the internet already sucks. im paying for a 15mb line but im lucky to ever see 6mb+. They claim its "speed bursts up to 15mb" my fucking ass, and im stuck with a 1 year agreement with them.

i miss comcast :(

Beaumont, TX? They have high speed Internet there now?

Since when did Time-Warner ever insist on contracts? That is one of their selling points out here. No contracts.

i pay a ridiculous $69.99 for my mobile that i enver use unlimited because its $39.99 for 5mb and you can leave your connection on and idle 5mb in like a couple houes.. And on top of it, the shit never fucking works.

They can test all they want. itll never work... besides all governments are mandating for free internet access for their cities....

Soon the suburbs will use this tactic to build their communities and the large cities will do it for the convienence and educational benefiets...

and time warner will be filing chapter 11
