We in the design business have had a problem with this since forever, just try sending a large Photoshop file to a client or agency or backing up a whole client project (multi gigs) to a remote server.

How can we turn this into a media/pr nightmare for the cable companies? If Time Warner plans to cap me, I will switch service providers because it's clearly a change in the terms. They have tried to lock me into a 2-year term but for the life of me I can't figure out what they've subsidized to justify it. The wireless phone companies have lost in the courts on this so I doubt TW has much to stand on. On a local level, I would encourage people to hold public protests, plant signs along the roadways, call customer service every chance you have and make their lives hell. Of course this only works if you have a choice. Barack, are you listening? This is clearly anti-competitive behavior. How can we turn this into a media/pr nightmare for the cable companies?
