Quoting Apple's support forums, SlashDot reports that Time Warner Cable in Texas is throttling iTunes bandwidth.



Starting on Thursday, January 31st, Time Warner subscribers in Texas starting experiencing connectivity issues to the iTunes store to the point where the service wasn't usable. General internet traffic issues haven't coincided with these problems ...



Perhaps not coincidently, Time Warner has announced that they're going to begin trials of tiered pricing in one local Texas market.



Apple recently began movie rentals (iTunes) via the iTunes Store.



Editor's note: ISPs asking users to pay for what they use is one thing. Not offering service or changing terms of service without notice are quite different...



What's your take?
