Time Warner’s jacked up pricing scheme
ARS Technica asks, “Just how overpriced is that steak” in an article examining Time Warner’s planned pricing scheme set to go into effect later this year here in Austin.
Rather than a tiered, flat rate, structure for high-speed Internet service, TW is moving to a plan that prices service by bandwidth. In this town, with so [...]
