In the infinite wisdom of the company, TimeWarner has decided to roll out 5GB to 40GB caps (up/down combined) on it’s Internet customers.  Users that exceed their limits will be charge $1 per GB.  One can only assume it is to piss off current customers and keep away potential new customers.  This is, without a doubt, one of the dumbest moves they could have made.  I’m only going to say this:

If you subscribe to MLB.tv for your baseball games.  Those baseball games eat up 42-50GB per month.
Netflix will take up ~4.5GB per streamed movie.
Linux distros eat up a lot of bandwidth.  So does Hulu.  So does playing games online.

There are several stories online discussing the caps.  You can read them here, here, here, here, here, and here.  This list of sites isn’t exhaustive.  Do your homework.  Call your state’s attorney general.  Several people have reported that this will go into effect at the end of the year, so you have eight months to stop it from happening.
