This is a warning to you AT&T. Don't screw us around.
Where are you going to go? There just are not any choices for broadband. You can have cable with a 250GB cap or DSL with metered usage. After ATT does this it probably will not be long before Verizon starts caps.
you comcast users just wait comcast will drop their cap even lower.all of then are about to price and cap their way out of business.it would be fucking funny if everybody went back to dialup.they would think dammit then wouldn't they

They won't need to drop the cap any further. With their move to SDV and ditching analog along with other bandwidth saving measures (maybe MPEG4) they can dedicate more 6MHz channels to HSI, opening up that node to headend capacity crunch they're currently experience.
we will just have to wait a see wont we.this is starting to look awfully familiar.kind a looks like the gas prices where they are trying to make as much as they can before we run out or change to something else doesn't it

If AT&T implements caps and overages, I'm switching to a local DSL provider like DSL Extreme or Sonic.
And what if ATT kicks them off their networks? You must forget that ATT does NOT have to give them access to the POTS network to sell DSL.
If AT&T kicks Sonic and/or DSL Extreme off their network, you're going to see a howl of protest from consumer groups and customers of Sonic/DSL Extreme, followed by an investigation by the California PUC. I don't think AT&T is that dumb... but we are talking about AT&T
How do you figure the Cali PUC has any foot to stand on? The FCC GAVE ATT the RIGHT to KICK anyone off their network.
Cali can't do shit. the FCC has the final say as far as that. Why do you think that so many resellers are not offering service anymore as far as DSL on ATT's network they were kicked off because they could not afford the fees ATT wants or would not allow them to resell period.
ATT can do the same thing to Snoic and DSLExtreme and there is nothing you nor the state is going to do to ATT to make them change their mind.
ALso what happens when more and more areas are going to U-Verse those ares will NOT get Sonic.net and DSL Extreme you'll be screwed and forced to ATT's.
