New York - After hearing complaints from customers and having a hard time finding many willing to participate in trials, Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) has shelved plans to expand testing proposed bandwidth caps on customers' Internet accounts. "It is clear from the public response over the last two weeks that there is a great deal of misunderstanding about our plans to roll out additional tests on consumption based billing," said CEO Glenn Britt. "As a result, we will not proceed with implementation of additional tests until further consultation with our customers and other interested parties, ensuring that community needs are being met."
