[TriLUG] OT - TWC bandwidth caps on the way?

[Heath Roberts]

Interesting. For $54.90 per month, you can use 15 megabits per second for 26
minutes (40-gigabyte cap, assumed 10 bits per byte). If you include IP
overhead, maybe 20-23 minutes per month. After that it's $90/hr, or $64K per
month. That should certainly help "finance the needed investment in the
infrastructure".

I know that broadband access has always been oversubscribed, and the
providers have been extremely close-lipped about by how much, but this seems
to say it's by a factor of 2000 or so.
