Re: Caps come to ATT Reno,NV

how do they figure out what is what?? Tv verses internet.

so if you have uverse you do not have the 150 gb cap???

Downloads or uploads of internet data do not affect your IPTV transmissions, e.g. U-Verse can send full IPTV and data speeds at the same time. The different type packets are separated (partitioned) at some layer.

But think for a moment, if the bandwidth limit applied to the IPTV transmissions, then that would mean AT&T would be selling TV service that would be limited by an hourly meter. No one would buy that. That is effectively what these bandwidth limits are -- a connection time limitation -- rather than a limit on the quantity of data transported as Comcast has imposed.

Whether or not the bandwidth limits apply to the broadband side of U-Verse isn't clear. The FCC filing only refers to broadband Internet service so presumably this is U-Verse as well. U-Verse is in the process of being rolled out to various areas in Reno so that may be why we were so lucky for this pilot test. A cap like this would be another reason for someone to NOT to sign up for U-Verse.
