Jackson Heights, NY | bottom line - AT&T Broadband is dying and this "decision" was a poorly made one to try to squeeze more money out of customers already paying for capped bandwidth. I'd like to see how AT&T geniouses who can't figure out how to run a stable service and provide good technical support are gonna figure out who is using more than one computer. A NAT router with a spoof mac address looks like a regular computer to folks on the outside.. ...
Bandwidth nazi's here we come.
... next year AT&T broadband just won't exist....

| There was a story on Slashdot not that long ago about Comcast supposedly going after NAT also. Here's a comment from that thread that talks about possible ways to tell whether users are NATing. There are some other decent comments attached to the story also. |

Jackson Heights, NY | yes, but these methods cost money...lots of money to implement. I suspect AT&T will victimize the easily scared customers and make money off of them and leave the rest alone because catching them will cost money and money AT&T Broadband don't have.

This is true. BTW, hasn't Comcast already agreed to acquire AT&T Broadband? |
