Comment on AT&T will cap DSL and U-Verse internet, impose overage fees

Comments

I love the paper-thin justification here the most. "We have to do this because people don't want to pay for bandwidth they don't use!"

OK, where's my $10 a month refund for every 50 GB I go under the limit?

Be very careful what you ask for. AT&T would be more than happy to implement a fully-tiered system like they do for cell minutes.

I'm not saying this is right, I'm just pointing out that this is far from the worst case scenario.

In theory, what you'll get is faster transfer rates for the data you do use.

In theory...
