More Specifics On AT&T's Cap Plans > 80 for Elite?

reply to Rick

Re: 80 for Elite?

hmm..funny that you refer to my warnings about AT&T uverse for the last 2 years as "shilling" for Comcast.

I'd call my predictions dead on accurate when it comes to how they should have rolled out FTTH instead. You..on the other hand..countered every post I made as being wrong.

Was I wrong about docsis 3.0 and how fast it would be coming out? It sure doesn't look that way..does it?
Was I wrong about how slow and outdated uverse would look in comparison..especially with this being AT&T's "next" generation service? It sure doesn't look that way.

And, was I wrong about Comcasts 250 gig "caps" as being extremely generous given what the competition would offer?
It sure doesn't look that way.

Instead..what we now have is you..in your own words..saying
how ridiculous AT&T is for proposing this. And how you'll be bailing on them and switching to your cable company instead.

Mr Ptrowski..it looks like you've agreed with me the whole time.

Hardly. Your "warnings" to AT&T are not in their own right shilling. Heck, I would take them as useful information if ot were not for all the other BS you spout. When 5% is good information but the other 95% is junk, you tend to lose site of the good parts.

The speeds for Uverse are going up as we saw. They are moving forward with higher tiers. How is that bad Rick? And don;t forget that in new developments AT&T IS deploying FTTP. Granted the speed tiers are the saem as Uverse, but they are doing fiber in select areas.

Right now it is a trial. HOPEFULLY is does not go across the boards as the cable companies have done. Right now I am not capped, I hope it stays that way. So 250 gigs is good, but my current uncapped system is better. No collars around my neck yet.

If you find my opposing the proposed caps for AT&T being in agreement with you, then so be it. I oppose caps across the boards.

The speeds are going UP Mr Ptrowski because they apparently want people to not watch tv while surfing their 18Mb uverse service. How else would you get 18Mb speeds out of a 25Mb Line?

You would ALSO get it by having to then CAP people at "ridiculous" levels..so ridiculous that the 20Mb cap is not even ONE TENTH what Comcast "caps" at.

The limitations of this "next generation" Uverse service are falling apart by the minute as they desperately try to be anything at all in this new world of broadband being introduced by verizon with their FTTH service..and comcast with docsis 3.0.
Exactly..as I predicted it would. Up to 2 years ago..unless they heeded the suggestion that they MUST begin a FTTH rollout.

Now..they pay they price.

And nowhere is that more evident than in YOUR own statement..about how YOU will be bailing on them.

Said by Ptrowski:
"No way. If that is their idea I will switch back to the local cable company. 80 gb is RIDICULOUS."

You're right Ptrowski.
Absolutely right.

Again, although at the same speeds you forget that they ARE deploying FTTH. There are some AT&T customers that have fiber. I assume you forgot that.

I don't want Uverse TV. I have Directv and have no need for their services. So I would take the higher speeds.

Let me break it down to small sentences for you.

Ptrowski = no current caps.
Rick = current caps
Caps = bad
More speed = good for everyone*

*ANY speed increases in the broadband world as a whole is good. It promotes competition which benefits everyone. Do I need to wrap that sentence in a brick and bang you over the head with it?
