Time Warner Cable Implements Packet Shaping

Time Warner Cable Implements Packet Shaping

That is, any service they don’t like will be purposely degraded.

I wonder if they will degrade encrypted traffic too, since they can’t see what’s inside? Or maybe the scary-sounding language at the end of the press release means they’ll simply terminate your account if you have a suspiciously high amount of encrypted traffic - either way, sucks to be you if you have a legitimate need for it.

Sad. I’ve used EarthLink Cable through Time Warner for a long time, and I’ve been very satisfied with their service thus far.
