Re: AT&T still beats Comcap said by 45612019:said by dvd536:said by 45612019:...for the simple fact that with AT&T you're actually allowed to use your connection for more than 6 hours in a month. With A T & T on 24/7, can it even do 250gb in a month? Someone with AT&T U-verse could download over 7,500 GB in a month. Nice try smartass. I think he was talking about someone on DSL which is around 1.5-3mbps downstream. Uverse is not even close to wide adoption so using that as a measuring stick really isn't accurate.
That being said, if you have 3000 downstream DSL line, and go full bore 24/7, you are looking at 960gb per month. At 1000 down its 320gb.
I think you can leave the personal insults out of it.

Exactly. Even at 1 Mbps it is possible to use more than 250 GB of bandwidth in a month.
Having a cap like that on a 50 or 100 Mbps connection like Comcast is doing is like paying for a buffet but then you read an asterisk on your receipt* and it turns out that you're only allowed to eat one grape. |

Having a cap like that on a 50 or 100 Mbps connection like Comcast is doing is like paying for a buffet but then you read an asterisk on your receipt* and it turns out that you're only allowed to eat one grape. It all depends on your hunger in that situation.
If you have a regular appetite, then you will eat until you are full, but you will get done eating in 5 minutes as opposed to an hour.
Take two people who are equal in the amount of food that they eat. Just because you have a trough at your table and you can eat 15x faster than someone who has to eat with chopsticks doesn't mean you will consume more as a result. It just means you will eat it faster and be done quicker.
Another example would be a car. If it takes you an hour to commute to work right now (DSL) and you decide to upgrade to 50mbps and commute in 5 minutes (Cable), it doesn't mean you will drive more as a result. Sure, you can get from point A to point B much faster, but you aren't going to drive for the sake of driving.
I fail to see if you have a faster line that you will consume more data as a result. You have the potential to consume more faster, but you won't do it just because its there.
