man you should be a cult leader or something…every post you have involves other people doing your plan…why not do it yourself and stop posting about it? if you dont like the fees…dont pay them. if you dont like time warner, dont pay them to provide a service. when you sign up for service thats all your getting, they rent you equipment to use it or you can buy your own. same with cell phones…you pay a service then need to buy a device to use it. time warner, same with cell phone carries do not lose money like you think they do when they lower someones bill. the structure and network is already built you are just paying for a service, which is their profit.

This is pretty much true, although my company provides the BW for a bunch of cell towers for Verizon in our area. They pay us a monthly fee for the BW. So there is still overhead, but I am sure they are still making plenty of money.
