A new Swedish law--based on the European Union's Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED)--actually allows copyright holders to force ISPs (internet service providers) into coughing up IP addresses of users sharing copyrighted material via a court order. To signify as to what kind of impact this law already made, Swedish internet traffic actually dropped from 120 Gbps to 80 Gbps on the very day the new law went into effect. Read all about it here.

I used to work for Compuserve customer service back when service was charged per min. I can't tell you how many phone calls I had to deal with 1000 dollar bills cause a modem hang up connected all month.

So what garentee is Time Warner going to give that they are only metering actual usage and not some virus, malware or hell even the data all the ads take up?

A cap of 40GB per month is a joke. At that rate the United States Postal Service provides more bandwidth than Time Warner with all the Netflix discs they deliver.
