Re: why so low? said by powerspec88:I just don't get it, they have to know that Comcast is at 250GB. 80GB for my 6Mbps DSL wont get me very far at all. Now if and only if they do this, i will be switching to Comcast (the only other ISP i can get) just so i can download more per month. the answer is in your post - "the only other ISP I can get".
you are lucky, as most people have no other choice. the incumbents can do this because there is very little competition.
because you do have an incumbent competitor in your area (comcast), it is possible ATT either won't implement caps in your area or will make them higher. |

I have Comcast too in my area, does that mean AT&T will make my cap higher too? |

But i would rather not switch as AT&T's routing is far better than Comcast. Thats the main reason im still with AT&T and not Comcast even though i love the speeds of Comcast. |

I don't actually know, I'm just guessing. You would think ATT would be crazy to implement a very low cap in areas where comcast competes with them, as people could change to comcast to get the higher cap.
on the other hand, as is pointed out, a large percentage of people don't even know what a gigabit is, so talk about a "cap" would be meaningless to them. |

But if ATT does go ahead with such ridiculously low caps in Comcast's areas, I can guarantee you that Comcast will gladly educate anyone who will listen as to the differences between 250 and 80. ATT would have to be crazy to implement such low caps in areas with competition. |
