I personally switched to Comcast business because it offers "unlimited" bandwidth. I have heard there is a limit, but that no one has ever hit it.Michael Sanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570795023973897563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114250211236591400.post-40410918308072560702011-07-12T22:17:48.284-05:002011-07-12T22:17:48.284-05:00i am one of the 2% in bay area of california, upse...i am one of the 2% in bay area of california, upset and disappointed, but what else we can do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114250211236591400.post-31757703779042540322011-05-10T08:33:31.702-05:002011-05-10T08:33:31.702-05:00Julie,

I also understand that 150GB can be a huge amount of data for some, but I believe that they (not just AT&T, but Comcast as well) are doing this for reasons other than the amount of bandwidth their customers are using. I would assert that this is a way for them to keep a tight grip on their paid television subscribers.<br /><br />I personally have not paid for television for over two years, I stream all of my media. With these caps I feel as if the companies are telling me not to stream through legal sources like Netflix and Hulu, but to instead pirate the content so that I can store it on my hard drive, thus not encroaching on the limit for the 10th time I want to watch the same movie.Michael Sanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570795023973897563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114250211236591400.post-70469249428790868192011-05-09T23:10:48.572-05:002011-05-09T23:10:48.572-05:00While limiting the internet is indeed very lame. 1...While limiting the internet is indeed very lame. 150 gigs is a lot compared to what some other internet providers are limiting to (and only 10 dollars for 50 gig overage? That ain't nuthin!).<br /><br />I live in the boonies, so only VERY recently ATT brought out their DSL. I'm ecstatic because until now my options were dial-up or a certain wireless company (rhymes with horizon).<br /><br />To provide a comparison, the wireless was 60 buckaroos a month (about 800ms latency in games on average... middle of nowhere inhabiting to blame) and 5 gig/month limit (with 25c per MB as a fine over the 5 gb limit. That's $12,800 for a 50 gig overage).<br /><br />So as a person who would bite her nails watching the data used "estimate" like a hawk and sometimes going without internet for a week (family of 5 sharing it), I personally am completely bubbly to have ATT even if they incorporate limitations. However I have been internet deprived and I know other providers are like true heaven. (Bright House, I hear, is awesome).<br /><br />All-in-all internet limiting is a load of bullocks, but companies want more money so it's inevitable. Darn 1st-world-country problems! I know you're bummed because had I lived elsewhere I would be a major internet hog and majorly upset myself. (I go to free-wifi places to download updates for games and games off steam etc... lol). But from my perspective, ATT is fantastic... that is, until something better comes along.Julienoreply@blogger.com
