Camden, TN | With 5 GB caps who cares? Seriously with what you can do with only 5 GB per month you don't need 7.2 Mbps. |

AT&T: deploy that upgraded software -- I'll take 7.2Mbps anyday considering users with few broadband alternatives.
Also agree they should do something about the 5GB cap -- they could offer a different service plan for more dough. Build it and they will come. |

not used to it yet? Dial up was the same way when it first came out, DSL was as well, now another new technology is. Been going on for at least a decade now... |

A 5GB cap is plenty for that kind of thinking. Sure it is but you don't need 7.2 Mbps to check e-mail and weather. Which is kind of my point. |

In some cases I'd agree with you, but my question to you is, why are you living in today and tomorrow.. have you looked at what's coming down in the future?
Take a REALLY good look at land line based internet. The applications are getting heavier and the land lines are not, according to some, either ready or simply keeping up with it. People wonder every day why its taking the providers time to "get with it" and upgrade speeds.
So, here we have AT&T, a U.S. Carrier, trying to push forward with faster speeds and you're asking why?
There is another saying.. if you don't need it, don't use it. |
