Some people will never be pleasedFirst people complain that that the microcells count both against the wireless usage caps and the wireline usage caps which is essentially double billing. AT&T fixes the problem by changing it so that it is billed against only the wireless caps. Then they start complaining about it being a net neutrality violation.
Fine. AT&T should just switch back to double billing again. The consumer groups want want net neutrality, then they will get it. The lawyers win, the customer loses. |

They got it backwards, though. It should not count against the wireless usage cap, and if they impose caps on their internet service, than they should not be allowed to pick and choose what data counts against this cap.
Seriously, we know why it is like this...$$$$. |

What I want to know is why are consumers using up their wireless caps while in their residences where these microcells would be located? Why not jump on WiFi? Double tapping caps seems like a non-issue to me. |

Good point. When I get home, one of the first things I do is connect my phone to WiFi and disable the wireless data. On my Android device, I have dedicated buttons on my homepage just for this purpose.
I'm sure most people simply are not aware of the options that are available to them. |

You don't think most people don't just have their WiFi on all of the time? I have about 20 open access points listed in my Nexus which allows me to utilize WiFi a majority of the time. Honestly, I'd be surprised if people disable their WiFi and aren't intelligent enough to turn it on when home...especially with data caps. |
