It is not the thread, the problem are the people creating threads with the same subject expecting they'll get different answers.

»45 MB internet service

»Why does AT&T have slower speed packages?

and this one.

Maybe someone should make these threads sticky.

Answers:

1. Currently there is no 55 Mbps bonded profile.
2. We don't know when it will be available.
3. We don't know how much it will cost.
4. We don't know who will qualify.
5. Yes, cable offer much faster speeds than uverse.
6. Yes some cable outlets have usage caps... like uverse.
7. Yes at&t has the largest and fastest network in the universe.
8. Yes at&t takes good care of their institutional investors.

Uverse "caps" aren't enforced (on the VDSL side anyway.)

Have you EVER seen a thread here discussing overages? Thought so.

Take number 7 to Merlin37 See Profile... if you can still find him here

As for number 6, the caps are working... the meters are not.

Argue semantics all you want but bottom line is U-verse VDSL isn't capped and nobody has been charged or even warned for going over the "cap."

Because AT&T is too dumb to figure out how to separate out the IPTV traffic. Once they figure it out, they will enforce the cap.

Yeah but until then, U-verse VDSL is as good as uncapped.

Yes, and once they turn on the 10.x.x.x range for internal (IPTV, VoIP) traffic, they will have a clean way to separate the external traffic. Once that is turned on, we'll have our caps again.

The 10.x.x.x-related changes being made are for IPv6, not cap enforcement.
