Socal.

Well, there is plenty of competition in Socal.... half of the area is served by FIOS - of course not MY area which is AT&T, but I would bet they are not going to cap in Socal because of this competition.

There are several independent DSL sellers too, like DSLExtreme etc, which also have no caps.

I am moving some time later this year, and when I do.... I may change ISP at that same time too, IF TWC is crazy enough to impose caps.

I'd rather have a little less speed, knowing I won't be punished if I download too much.

ATT would only be able to put caps on DSL where there are no CLECs at that central office (rural areas). Otherwise the CLECs will have a windfall, advertising no caps DSL to residential customers.

True, DSL Extreme would have a field day if AT&T started capping. They already have excellent pricing and a lax AUP.

The question is, if all of AT&T and Time Warner's heavy users switch to DSLExtreme, can DSLExtreme handle the traffic? My worry is an overabundance of "hog refugees" would force DSLExtreme to move to a metered system. They'd still have good opportunity to be a little more fair about the allowances and pricing though.
