ATT U-Verse and DSL bandwith caps.

Discuss?

 

Hey guize, we're still cool, rite?

Love,

Comcast

 

 

i smell the scent of a monopoly...

 

Comcast already has the 250gb cap as well..

I'm not surprised. It was going to happen sooner or later.

 

**** that ****!

 

they already had pretty hard bandwidth limits what with the 50% packet loss and all

 

Bye bye streaming netflix

 

They say this will only affect 2% of their customers but as time goes on that 2% is going to grow. A lot.

 

Yep, I ended up getting warnings twice, and had to switch up to Bis class (no caps)

 

what I find really funny is, most DSL is obsolete, its being phased out slowly because of cable/fiber/wireless.

The other "funny" thing is the fact that DSL by its nature is limited in bandwith in the first place. Its absulute bull**** that AT&T is claiming "some users are using up our badnwith" no...that NOT how DSL works, sorry.

 

**** yah Comcast business class.

that's what i have at home. my modem broke on a Friday afternoon before a 3day weekend and they had some dude there to replace it in 4 hours. One of my coworkers has the same deal, Comcast came and replaced her hardware on thanksgiving... love or hate Comcast, they take care of their bus customers.

 

I had to switch to business account becuase I got canned for web hosting on my resident account. I got 3 warnings from comcast security before it happen.

 

It's to keep people from running a server in the home, and comcast has had a cap for years now. If you have a static ip you still will not have a data cap with dsl and uverse. Also the avarage "big time internet user" uses about 150-200gb per month. it's more data then you think. I have 3 game systems and stream netflix all day and still can't come close to 150gb. Comcast and att have caps for personal use..... nothing new
