Time Warner Cable to Test Pricing Tied to Bandwidth Usage

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on January 17, 2008 - 9:20am.

New York - Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWX) plans later this year to experiment with charging its high-speed Internet customers based on how much they download each month, the Associated Press reported. Company spokesman Alex Dudley told AP around 5% of its customers can account for up to 50% of the company's network capacity, most likely while downloading HD video content.

In the second quarter, new Time Warner Cable customers in Beaumont, Texas will be able to choose from plans based on how much they download each month.

The company did not disclose information on any pricing tiers.
