Re: 250GB makes Sence to Me
I watch hours worth of online material, I watched 3 seasons with 20x 45min episodes last month, streamed some movies from netflix and downloaded a few, and then along with online gaming and regular internet usage among 3 computers I didn't come close to 250gb. I'm not agreeing with caps here but I think you are exagarating, if you blow through the cap through 2 days you should definitely be paying for business class service, its only fair. | |

We are not talking about the 250GB being done in two days. I was referring to some of the other carriers caps mentioned in the article as well. I am sorry if I clearly did not state to what part of the article I referred.
"AT&T, who recently starting testing caps ranging from 20-150GB caps with $1 overages, offers customers in Nevada and Texas test markets an online web usage tool. So does Time Warner Cable, who is testing caps ranging from 5-40GB with $1-$1.50 overages in Beaumont, Texas."
Those lower caps of 5-40GB and the lower AT&T caps. Their 6Mbps package competes at 80GB cap compared to Comcast's 250GB for the same speed at less than 1/4th the cap.
Comcast's are decent. Some of the other carriers are going very low and not very reasonable. Time Warner's caps are ridiculous and AT&T's are harsh. | |
