Bushido Hacks's Journal: Tier-based Bandwidth Caps come to Charter

As if Charter's problems weren't bad enough, Tim Barker of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Charter is taking the low road that Comcast is following and implementing tiered bandwidth caps.

"Charter tells me that on Monday it will change its Acceptable Use Policy to establish limits on monthly residential bandwidth consumption. Customers with service speeds up to 15 mbps will have a 100 (GB) per month limit. Those with speeds between 15 and 25 mpbs will have a 250 (GB) cap. There is no limit for those people who buy the company's luxury Ultra60 service."

A local gaming blogger has critized this adjustment.

Charter has a monopoly on cable service in much of the St. Louis area.
