[TriLUG] Time To Ditch RoadRunner?

Not reading the whole story, but if someone signed up for 1 RR account 
and then resold the service to lots of people I would think that would 
be a "no, no".  Even if it was a biz class account.

What if I got a "all you can eat meal" and then had everyone in TRILUG 
join me, but charged them eat a fee?  I am guessing the store wouldn't 
care much for that now.

In this case I think TWC just wants to get a fare fee for their service.
