UPDATE: http://stopthecap.com/2009/04/10/br...ce-the-massa-broadband-internet-fairness-act/
Congressman Eric Massa has introduced a bill that would ban IPs from charging based on usage.
----------------------------------
Time Warner announced that they will be rolling out a tiered payment system that is based on your usage.
See the following articles if you want:

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20090402/BUSINESS/904020342
So instead of the current unlimited plan for $30-50 (based on deal when you signed up) you have to select a plan for either 5GB, 10GB, 20Gb, 40GB, or 100GB.
The prices (at least according to the second article) would be:
5GB - $29.99
10GB - $39.99
20GB - $49.99
40GB - $54.90
100GB - Unavailable
Plus $1 for ever GB over your limit.
What is your opinion about this new setup?
Do you already have to pay for internet based on usage? If so, what do you pay? How much data do you use? Do you play your 360 or PS3 online? Stream Netflix? Download music?
I worried that I use a lot already and this is going to cost me an arm and a leg. Between Live, streaming Netflix, streaming TV shows, and downloading music I feel like I'll use too much.
