Settle down. “As we continue to deploy more and more cable modems, many of these modems need servicing or replacing, get damaged and some are not returned,” said Plucknette-Farmen. “The monthly lease charge will allow us to service or replace the equipment, provide a better user experience and further enhance our Internet services.” either way you slice it some dickhead isnt doing their job, so we have to pay for it. Job as in; make a decent device, deploy a decent device correctly, service said devices correctly, replace them correctly, and return them correctly. I know I didnt do a fucking thing towards my internet service. They did all thw work, and I dont touch the device. So I cant be blaimed for a damn thing he mentioned above (reasons for the price hike). Thats all the justification I need to be pissed at being screwed over. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/time-warner-to-begin-charging-monthly-fees-to-use-their-modems/265241)._
