Re: And what will the bandwidth cap on that be, AT&T?

It will be interesting to see if houses who watch a lot of TV get upset when they find the 18Mbps they ordered is really only 18mbps when the kids are asleep and the hubby isn't watching HD sports...
No doubt. Of course, this is purely speculation on my part.
AT&T just seems very reluctant to grow the 25mbps profile. At an investor conference a while back AT&T was talking about expecting to 4HD to fit in the current 25mbps profile. As it is now, 10mbps "max" internet does not share with TV, so I'm also thinking that new verbage came to fruition for a reason.
I do think AT&T could stand to increase the bandwidth profile for most people. I'm 2600' out with a max sync of 49mbps. I'm pretty close to the 3000' cutoff.
We'll see.

clubs: | I think the number of families that need to watch more then 4 live shows are small percentage. They plan to increase that streams in the future but for now it is what it is. |
