Yeah, that part still chaps my ass! It's 2015 and the "what if you hand-out your username/password excuse is weak at best. TWC offered a reduced offering when not on the home network, but it wasn't "0" either.
They really need to rethink that IMO.
And I'll say again, short of those who use Torrents (and I'm not one who does), I've not found my daily Internet experience to be no better that TWC's 60Mbps offering.
So right now the slightly cheaper cost, contract length with GF, and the contract length with Ooma are really all that are keeping me with GF. And the cost is the only thing that should remain in play after 12 months. I refuse to get emotional about the 970Mbps up/down deal. It's cool, but we all know it's not really anything that's meaningful beyond the actual test.
So I expect GF will improve things like their "on the laptop TV watching" experience (just a bunch of links to the actual provider's sites where you logon those 45 times [instead of once in a real App that's passed-through to the provider!!!]), their home network "monitoring" page, as will the TV interface, AND PERHAPS THEY'LL BRING "REAL" PIP BACK FOR US OLD FOLKS (!!!), but they have a long way to go. But hey, they're new to this. The good news is they have nearly unlimited resources to fix a lot of these things.
