If this plan is implemented in my area (NE Ohio), I will drop them and move to a different isp and use DSL or even dial-up before they see one penny from me. I'll get satellite TV as well. I'm even wondering if a class action lawsuit would be a viable response seeing how the contract I signed was for "unlimited" broadband usage. In the meantime watch out for a guy who's initials are... Mark Evans... I think he's a Time Warner plant. He's all over the internet and in various forums trying to defend this insanity. I’m a Time Warner Roadrunner and cable TV subscriber.
