cappy Posted March 14, 2011 CID Share Posted March 14, 2011 Found a news post today telling me that new bandwidth caps will start May 2nd. There will also be overage fees. http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/13/atandt-will-cap-dsl-u-verse-internet-and-impose-overage-fees/ AT&T says it will implement a 150GB monthly cap on landline DSL customers and a 250GB cap on subscribers to U-Verse high speed internet starting on May 2nd. AT&T will also charge overage fees of $10 for every additional 50GB of data, with two grace periods to start out -- in other words, the third month you go over the cap is when you'll get charged. DSLReports says it has confirmation from AT&T that these rates are legitimate, and that letters will go out to customers starting March 18th. So, both my ISP's now cap usage. Broadstripe caps at 200GB a month and 7GB a day. If you go over that 7GB, you get throttled at 30kb for 3 days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted March 19, 2011 CID Share Posted March 19, 2011 So if they impose caps, the bandwidth is now not UNLIMITED so they should lower there price plans right? probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
