Time Warner FOS (Score 1)

Whelp one thing I know about Time Warner is that they are completely undermining the customer with setting up bandwidth caps. One thing I learned after being a Systems Administrator for a few years working in the One Wilshire building in downtown, Los Angeles is that a company like Time Warner has so many peering agreements setup via datacenter specific buildings such as One Wilshire that they save a massive amount of money. One Wilshire has a service called the Any2 Exchange where you can peer directly with any provider in the building to save money on bandwidth charges. Direct peering with providers keeps your transit costs down since most of the data transfer will feed through the exchange itself providing for almost a zero hop relationship, keeping you from paying another bandwidth provider to connect you to the route you would like to take. You can view Time Warner Cable's peering information here: http://www.crgwest.com/Any2Exchange/participantdirectory.aspx I guess they like pulling fast ones on consumers.
