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

Comments

Comcast has the same thing 250GB cap and has such for 3 to 4 years. No one is blowing through 250GB watching netflix, hulu and such, which I think is the reason behind this move by AT&T.

Actually I burn up about 190GB with netflix, hulu, Xbox 360 games, OS updates, Zune pass, pandora, etc.

I don't use any illegal means to acquire content and am already flirting with the cap regularly. The "bandwidth hogs" of today are the "regular users" of tomorrow. Imagine telling somebody from 10 years ago "the average internet user will be using 10 GB of bandwidth a month." Their mind would be blown.
