News: Adelphia to begin bandwidth caps

As reported on DSLReports at http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/35244

"Fawaz engages in "corporate speak" when asked about the company's plans for potential byte-caps. "We like to call it “consumption modeling” instead of byte-caps," he says. "We will be what we call “soft consumption monitoring,” and essentially decide whether we want to make it hard consumption monitoring going forward. We haven’t made that decision."

Fawaz could have just said, "yes, we'll be implementing soft caps; maybe hard caps later" and saved the interviewer some time. Hopefully they won't be following the lead of companies like Comcast and Rogers; who send you letters threatening account termination when you download too much, then expect you to guess what the actual limits are."

We'll keep our eyes on this one to see when and how this happens.

"You can use our service but don't actually use our service." Interesting business model.
