As a CenturyLink customer, internet only, I certainly hope they don't put quotas on data use. What gives me hope is that they are essentially a phone (and internet access) company that also provides TV services as opposed to the "cable" companies that are essentially TV companies that also provide phone service (and internet access). Clearly the lines are blurring. The current pricing model for internet access has you paying more money for higher bandwidth. This implies more data will be transferred. Putting a quota on top of that may create a lot of unhappiness with their customers. It would cause a problem for us as we generate a "lot" of internet traffic.
