Chaos' Blog of Awesomeness

Holy crap. I just found out a few days ago that Time Warner may be changing their service. Apparently they aren't making enough money by monthly bills, so they are now going to be charging by how much internet people use. You can choose one of five cap levels ranging from 5 GB/month to 100 GB/month. If you exceed that, then they charge you $1 for every extra GB. It works in the same sense of using internet on a cell phone. This sucks. I don't have very many choices for internet where I live, because most are dial-up providers. I'm paying $35 a month for internet, but if I keep using it like I have been, that will increase a lot. The change will soon be coming to: Greensboro, NC, Austin and San Antonio, TX, and Rochester, NY. I literally live about 30-45 minutes from Rochester, NY, so hopefully this won't effect me yet.

So, what does this mean? Will I no longer be able to download big games off of the Xbox Live Arcade without my internet usage going up and charging me big time? Sucks for a lot of people. I've had no rumor with Time Warner's internet up until hearing about this.
