Time-Warner (parent company of AOHell) announced today they are going to a tiered rate methodology that will start testing in Texas next quarter.
Here is the article.
The article says that 5% of their subscribers are doing appx. 50% of the downloads.
Currently our provider, Cox, has 3 levels for 29.95, 39.95 and 49.95 which is what I have but it's unlimited up/down loads ..just my speed is higher.
It would seem that if Time-Warner adopts this, most of the other companies like Comcast** and Cox would also adopt as well.
**Comcast CEO, Brian Roberts said in his keynote at CES "Third, we're committed to delivering the best customer experience, end to end-- from the first phone call, through the installation, and beyond."
I know that most of my East Coast buddies that suffer through the endless outages, the rude CSRs and lengthy waits for repair service will beg to differ.
*please feel free to move this outta business to somewhere else if not "General Business Knowledge"*
