Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Starting Monday...Bandwidth Caps begin with AT&T (and won't stop there)

Will majority of consumers jump to Time Warner where available? Will such an event send a message to providers who have applied the cap system? Will Time Warner wait until such a jump and then impose a cap once they've secured all the fleeing consumers? It's a pretty lousy system. And far from expanding caps as technology and graphics progress, I'm sure they'll look for ways to ratchet it down.

It's almost 2 months out of date, but here's an article that turned up in my searching: here

From what I gather Comcast is a part of Time Warner Cable. Comcast is planning to begin imposing data caps of it's own starting in October.

Straight from Comcast's Website: here They are planning on a cap of 250GB.

Between ATT and Comcast I'd go with Comcast. The fact that the landlord works for Comcast doesn't hurt either.
