Consumption of bandwidth is exploding, and that's good, but it requires a substantial investment in infrastructure.

Call me pessimistic, but somehow I think this statement is F.O.S. and so is the exec. "Not hearing from" my ass. I just don't think people are going straight to their political rep before registering a complaint with their provider.

Glad to see an uprising... now do the same with the nickel and dime landline and cellphone charges!

You might want to proof read your comment before posting. I have to read this five times before I could understand it. And I thought my English was bad.

"It is clear from the public response over the last two weeks that there is a great deal of misunderstanding about our plans to roll out additional tests on consumption based billing," Time Warner CEO Glen Britt said in a statement. "As a result, we will not proceed with implementation of additional tests until further consultation with our customers and other interested parties, ensuring that community needs are being met."
