AT+T won't do anything tricky to you this is just to protect the average customer against those lawless downloading pirates who use more than their fair share of bandwidth. The customers just have to be educated on how this is good for them.
I am thinking this is a sarcastic remark, but I will grant you the entertainment of a reply.
If you think piracy is the only way to use large amounts of bandwidth, your are grossly mistaken.
Duh?????
I have no idea how much bandwidth I use but I have childern and I have almost cut the cable off, just lifeline basic (13 channels). At any given time I could have two people streaming NetFlix and another on the computer, maybe another playing Mario Kart over the internet. I would think I use a fair amount of bandwidth compared to most households.
