Charter TN

Here in East TN, Charter just changed to 2 tiers instead of 3 or 4. Unfortunately, UPLOAD is still at 128kbps. Although I understand the reason behind it (they don't want customers putting up servers), why should they care WHAT I do with the banwidth that I pay for? Would be nice to video conference with friends and have decent video quality. Just can't happen at 128k!

If they are so afraid of bandwidth usage, then why just charge for what banwidth used. Give everybody 2meg up and down. Then charge each home according to usage - ie, like electricity. Would be the only 'fair' way. Internet access then could turned into a utility and controlled by the PUC for fair pricing and access.
