So should you pay up to $35 for their lowest 5GB plan, you just might be able to actually watch two HD films. Of course you can go over your limit if you're willing to pay $1 per additional gigabyte, a markup over cost of only 1,000 to 1,500% by Time Warner Cable. That's a bad deal however you slice it -- unless you work in marketing.

Sorry, but this mindset it laughable. Unless you're buying a dedicated link with burstable CIR of some sort what you get is best effort, period. The current infrastructure of the internet doesn't support every single ISP customer concurrently maxing their pipes out, and frankly probably never will. P2P is really f--king the net up, like it or not.

Welcome to the world which most people live in - New Zealand has tried unsuccessfully all-you-can-eat broadband a grand total of 3 times so far - and each time it has monumentally failed; massive bandwidth usage, little return in term of profit which meant slow upgrading of hardware because of the lack of revenue.
For 99% of people, most never get to download amounts that really abuse the system, so for them, they won't be affected. The only outcry I see are those who demand that they can hog all the bandwidth, pay a 'token amount', then whine when the speed isn't high end due to overloading by people like them.
