| there's no cap, however i once did receive a letter from time warner regarding excessive upstream bandwidth usage on my account (i was streaming music at the time which maxed out my upstream). the letter didn't say anything about exceeding limits, but rather was just a friendly warning that the excessive upstream usage could be caused by malware. |

| RoadRunner---the ISP portion DOES have a cap. but its a soft cap. The actually amount is not known nor do they tell you.
Read your RR TOS/AUP at help.rr.com make sure you read the Cable Operator TOS/AUP as well. They can and DO vary depending on the area.

Cleveland, OH | i didn't say you'd have a problem and they would enforce the caps. I said they DO have soft caps and it is in writing.

| Like i said. Go look it up for your self:
TWC Cali-
a) Description of HSD Service.
(i) I acknowledge that each tier or level of the HSD Service has limits on the Maximum Throughput Rate at which I may send and receive data at any time, as set forth in the price list or Terms of Use, and that the Maximum Throughput Rate may be achieved in bursts, but generally will not be sustained on a consistent basis due to the nature of the Internet, the protocols used to transmit data to and from the Internet, and TWC’s facilities. I also understand that the actual Throughput Rate I may experience at any time will vary based on numerous factors, such as the condition of wiring at my location, computer configurations, Internet and TWC network congestion, the time of day at which I use the HSD Service, and the website servers I access, among other factors. Additionally, Throughput Rate may be affected by Network Management Tools, the prioritization of TWC commercial subscriber traffic and network control information, and necessary bandwidth overhead used for protocol and network information.
(ii) I agree that TWC or ISP may change the Maximum Throughput Rate of any tier by amending the price list or Terms of Use. My continued use of the HSD Service following such a change will constitute my acceptance of any new Maximum Throughput Rate. If the level or tier of HSD Service to which I subscribe has a specified limit on the amount of bytes that I can use in a given billing cycle, I also agree that TWC may use technical means, including but not limited to suspending or reducing the speed of my HSD Service, to ensure compliance with these limits, and that TWC or ISP may move me to a higher tier of HSD Service (which may result in higher monthly charges) or impose other charges and fees if my use exceeds these limits.

| said by greendesert :any news on the cap as yet ? It's not likely to happen overnight. However Time Warner has made it abundantly clear that they believe "Consumption Based Billing" is the right way to fairly charge customers, however they will need to spend time and money in order to "educate" all of us.
