| | Caps are not proportionate The caps are suspicious. They demonstrate more that the company is concerned about video over the internet competing with UVerse, than they are worried about costs.
For instance, the cap difference between Elite and Max, which is UVerse only, is not proportional, compared to the other cap limits. In addition, the cap for Elite makes any use of the tier for video--which is what ATT recommends for that tier--infeasible. It's too small.
My hope is that something opens up based on the white space FCC ruling, and we have increased options. In the meantime, I'm looking at moving back to Charter in my area, because 80GB is too unreasonable. | |

But how will they handle the ATT and Direct tv deal? I don't think that direct tv will like caps that get in the way of there VOD system with the isp that they teamed up with? | |

Absolutely it is probably time for the government to break up AT&T again. | |

Smyrna, GA | Re: Caps are not proportionate Why did they let Ma Bell get back together. Of the original RBOCS, Pacbell, Ameritech, SBC, & SouthWestern Bell are back together. Only Bell Atlantic (Verizon) & US West stand alone (& both Verizon & AT&T are eyeing US WORST but they are so God-Awful bad...)
What is the major change that happened that would invalidate Judge Green's original order? | |

While Verizon might like some of Qwest's metro areas there is no way they would ever buy all of Qwest unless forced to. AT&T is probably waiting for a rock bottom price. | |
