We are lucky Massillon Cable doesnt charge by the gig. Dont think they ever will.

Ya Bili... I think the guy who posted this in one thread said every thing will be on the net.

So if the push is to get content online & not tv, then how can they justafy(spelling) charging for bandwidth.

If this happens, I'm changing providers. :sad:

WELL IT DEPENDS. Like the site said it would be 3,000 some web pages to visit to get 1 gig. So you may be ok

I guess you're right. You'd have to do an awful lot of downloading, etc. to pass the monthly limit.

Now if you jump on pirates bay & download music & movies then that may put you over your cap.

So you all on road runner light with your 768 up / 128 down.. Good luck:poke:

We download music, but it's through iTunes. Does that affect it as well if we have Time Warner?

Well a song is what 3-6MB? 1024MB= 1GIG

I would not jump ship yet, its only in a test market as of now.
