<description>Forced caps - what do they mean?  In Greensboro it meant higher bills and protests.  Listen to the consumer.

<description>Not this again!  Let&amp;#039;s believe advertisements... over real consumers.  Time Warner has worked me over enough with their constantly increasing bills and then trying to lock me into a long term contract with penalties.  If they had such a great product they would not need 23 page legal contracts to lock you in.  Listen to the consumer not the marketing guys: [youtube yiC88TQ0tZQ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiC88TQ0tZQ&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiC88TQ0tZQ&lt;/a&gt; youtube] </description>

<description>What is going on is Time Warner trying to pass a bill that would force their municpal competitors like Wilson increase their rates with these additional costs. Imagine if you could get a bill passed that would force your competitors to raise their rates, but not your own business. Talk about crooked. </description>

<description>I guess you didnt see that both Google and Intel came out against this bill.  I guess you also didnt see that the bill sponsors themselves apologized for the bill, gutted it themselves, and said it needed to be looked at further.   I guess you also missed how the bill would impact fire and police radio networks throughout the state preventing any tax subsidies and requiring networks be run on fee income alone jacking up the prices that volunteer fire departments would have to pay along with EMS and Police.   Guess you missed when everyone involved decided this was a bad bill including the sponsors themselves.   </description>

<description>WiMax is pure failure:    One of the world&amp;rsquo;s first WiMAX operators, Hervey Bay, of Australia&amp;rsquo;s Buzz Broadband, has closed the network, with the CEO labeling the technology as a &amp;ldquo;disaster&amp;rdquo; that has &amp;ldquo;failed miserably.&amp;rdquo;  In an astonishing outburst before the audience at an international WiMAX conference audience in Bangkok, Thailand, CEO Garth Freeman slammed the technology, saying its non-line of sight performance was &amp;ldquo;non-existent&amp;rdquo; beyond two kilometres from the base station, that indoor performance decayed at a mere 400 metres and that latency rates reached as high as 1000 milliseconds.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wimax.com/commentary/news/wimax_industry_news/australian-wimax-pioneer-trashes-the-technology-as-201ca-miserable-failure201d&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.wimax.com/commentary/news/wimax_indust...&lt;/a&gt;    </description>

<description>Even if true, good ole Citizen X is spot on right. Wireless is a snafu. It doesnt even go reliable through walls. Imagine an internet service that you cant get a good signal in your house. Epic fail.   </description>

<description>Wait to see you the price increases that come along with Time Warner&amp;#039;s new cap structure that they will be rolling out.  How about going from $40 a month to $150 a month. Doesnt sound fair or efficient to me.  The difference between a private monopoly and a public monopoly is that you can vote to change the public monopoly!

<description>Time Warner does have a monopoly and that is the reason they have poor customer service and keep raising my bill.  I want another choice and I want lower bills.   I also dont want my tv and internet to go out for hours during peak times.   I would also like to talk to a human on the phone.   Just look what they are doing in Greensboro, they will do it here.____And I cant even believe you are defending a multinational company who pays their executives millions and millions of dollars in this economy.______[youtube 6x0L1l4WVdc&amp;amp;feature=channel_page &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0L1l4WVdc&amp;amp;feature=channel_page&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0L1l4WVdc&amp;amp;fe...&lt;/a&gt; youtube] </description>
