Don’t Limit My YouTube!: A Plea from a Bandwidth Hog

June 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The horror! The fear!

Internet cable companies, such as Time Warner Cable and Comcast are thinking of charging us for the amount of bandwidth we use. We use bandwidth by downloading YouTube videos and playing interactive games.

Time Warner Cable tried out charging users in Texas when they exceeded a certain pre-set limit, Comcast is slowing down the connections of the heaviest users.

Eek! I am a bandwidth hog!

I love downloading random clips. There’s Simpsons clips, Johnny Cash and June Carter performances, Broadway show-tunes, roller coaster simulations, interviews of Phylicia Rashad, and the ABCs as said by James Earl Jones. There’s EVERYTHING.

There’s complete episodes of 30 Rock.

Time Warner Cable, Comcast, please, please, please, bandwidth is an engine of procrastination like none I have ever known. Do not charge me whenever I want to rev it up!
