Re: Caps come to ATT Reno,NV Frankly I doubt that very many Basic users would be power users downloading more than +20 GB. I guess they should sign up for cable if they have to have that much usage. |

What if cable is unreliable or unavailable in your area? Lots of power users are more interested in consistent, dependable performance, even if they can't get big bandwidth.
AT&T really ought to figure out what they're going to do for customers that are willing to pay a higher fee to get more bandwidth but don't necessarily qualify for higher speeds. It wouldn't be an issue in the first place if additional bandwidth was charged for fairly.

kudos:7 | Someone can always buy a second line of dry Basic DSL for $20/mo and use a dual WAN router. That would give them 20 more GB of bandwidth and double their gross (aggregate) throughput. |

That only further demonstrates the absurdity of $1 per gig. Using 20 extra GB will cost the same as a whole extra DSL line!

I'm a 6mbit user and I'm pretty sure I blow through that highest cap in two weeks. Between streaming Netflix videos, downloading movies and tv shows from Amazon to my TiVo, a subscription to FilePlanet, and various torrents, I'm pretty sure this would be kinda crap for me. |
