What do you do if you're a giant corporation devoted to selling people huge, $100/month bundles of TV channels they don't want anymore, but you also have a monopoly on selling high-speed Internet access, which they want very badly?

You take away unlimited Internet access from your Internet-only customers, and tell them they have to buy that TV package if they want it back!

Cox has a 700 gig cap on our plan that I rarely ever approach, except when I get a new computer and have to synch my online backup, then I usually exceed 1 TB. Even then Cox will just send an FYI email...
