Time Warner Cable Shelves Bandwidth Caps

Time Warner Cable appears, for the moment, to be retreating from its bandwidth cap tests in four U.S. cities, temporary ending a controversial experiment that would have created new usage buckets.

Those plans would have featured a lighter user plan featuring 1 Gbyte per month of usage for $15 per month. About 30 percent of Time Warner Cable customers use less than 1 Gyte per month.

Other plans would have featured caps of 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 GBytes, plus an unlimited plan for the highest-speed 50 Mbps service.
