They're gone! After outcry, Time Warner uncaps the tubes

After a public outcry and the attention of several members of Congress, Time Warner Cable has stopped its trial of Internet data caps, but not before making "metered billing" a tough sell for all other American ISPs.
Time Warner Cable said repeatedly that it wanted to hear from the public as it expanded its Internet data caps, and the public has roared back its response: metered billing should exist in some non-obscene ratio to cost and to competitors' pricing. In response, TWC will shelve the trials "while the customer education process continues."

Their proposed caps were retarded; you'd almost think they were intentionally trying to create outrage. I mean, every ISP here has caps, but not even the cheapest plans are near the 4GB that TW was proposing.
