Time Warner Wants You To Pay More For Internet Use
As if American consumers weren’t dealing with enough high costs associated with living free in the U.S. of A. The author of the bumper sticker phrase “Freedom Isn’t Free” was correct on so many levels.
The word is out about how Time Warner that mega entertainment communications conglomerate wants you to pay more for usage of the Internet. This plan to squeeze more money from your already tight budget comes from the Cable Division of the Time Warner company.According to reports from Free Press Time Warner has already announced plans to impose unfair Internet metering fee as a penalty in parts of Texas, North Carolina and upstate New York.
Reportedly the plan would cost customers $15 per month for one gigabyte — the equivalent of one 30-minute HD television show — with a penalty fee of $2 for every additional gigabyte over the limit. This fee would be added to whatever Time Warner Cable charges as your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for access to the Internet.
It is believed this plan is devised to make customers reconsider canceling cable TV service and finding the shows they want online to view at their convenience.
We encourage you to contact your congressional representative to urge him/her to join other representatives in a call for an investigation of Time Warner Cable’s plans to impose an unfair penalty against Internet users.
By congressional mandate the Internet has been made available for widespread use, an affordable and free-flowing means of communication for our economic recovery. Free Press says “Time Warner Cable’s price-gouging scheme limits consumers at a time when we need Internet access the most. ”
We agree. We, the people, through a congressional investigation into Time Warner Cable’s anti-competitive practices should be pro-active in this issue. Let’s find out about this price increase before it becomes an industry-wide, nationwide problem.
