Time Warner to Offer Unlimited Bandwidth for $150 a Month

Time Warner Cable's COO responds to criticism of the company's plan to cap bandwidth usage on its broadband Internet services by announcing a new pricing structure for the plan.

In response to a slew of criticism over its plan to cap customers’ bandwidth allowance, Time Warner Cable announced new price tiers for a three-state trial. On top of a 5, 10, 20, and 40-gigabyte (GB) caps, the company said this week that it would offer an additional 100GB tier for heavy users. Prices (so far) would range from $29.95 to $75.00 a month, with users charged an extra dollar for every GB more they download, although that charge is also capped at $75. An “unlimited” bandwidth plan, therefore, tops out at $150.
