As was one of the topics on GHR Epidose #63, Time Warner has plans to start a tiered system for their cable Internet service, charging based on usage. What should come as no surprise to anyone is that there are not a whole lot of fans of this approach, and fortunately a lot of TW customers in San Antonio and Austin, Texas made their displeasure with these plans be know. Time Warner has decided to put off their test run of the comsumption based pricing until October, which will buy them time to formulate a PR campaign to ease the blow.

Frontier had formerly announced a tiered plan, but has since rescinded this idea because of public outrage. If your cable company has plans for consumption based pricing, let your voice be heard.
