| Doesn't work for any uverse customers. Uh.. No only DSL caps went live. Usage stats don't work for *ANYONE* on uverse and caps are not being implemented at all on uverse as currently the metering doesn't work at all. I have not seen one uverse customer who can see their stats.
I am using 5TB/month until they fix their shit:

Sorry, but ATT will loose more money than they make with trying to charge per byte. By the time they spend billions to upgrade all the their equipment to have fast enough processors to count all the good packets of data accurately competition will exist or we will have laws that will force them back to unlimited. Don't forget all the extra money spent to handle all the customer service problems and billing problems with per byte billing.
Per byte billing is a huge expense that a serious investor would not want to pay for.
A serious investor would rather not have ATT spend a fortune on extra expenses to try to implement a policy to nickel and dime customers, but would rather have them raise prices a little by taking advantage of their monopoly. | |

|
| | | | Re: Doesn't work for any uverse customers. They will work very hard to figure out a way to implement caps because they know that they will lose a lot of video customers if they do not. Right now only a small percentage of users elect to pass on TV service and get their video entertainment via the internet. I am one of them. Between what I can get on Netflix, Hulu, and Shy Angel IPTV (gives me Fox News and lots of sports channels) and my antenna I get just what want. Including the streaming service portion of Netflix, the cost is about $35.00. My home network lets me access programing in any room I wish, and on my TVs. To get the same programing on the same number of sets would cost me close to $100.00.
If too many people figure out that they can have more choice for less money, more people will opt out of their TV plan, as I have. If they don't stop it now they will really be in trouble when the next more efficient video codec comes along. Lowering their bandwidth limit would probably cause them to face an anti-trust action.
If AT&T were smart, they would bit the bullet and reduce the cost of their plans, offer more choice and try to compete with services on the net. | |

Do you think the same holds true with wireless broadband? What about wireless cell minutes?, What about cloud storage, virtual web hosting, etc.
When someone builds an infrastructure/service with resources that are shared/oversubscribed the return or profit of that shared service directly correlates with the oversubscription model.
If someone starts using their cell phone as a baby monitor, or opens up their wireless for all neighbors to use, or starts sharing video titles from their home to everyone on the Internet, or their cloud drive, etc it changes the business model related to the costs to build and support the increased dedicated capacity/user required.
All networks are shared and oversubscribed. Residential services are not sized and priced for commercial-like dedicated bandwidth 7x24. You don't have to like it, but at least you should understand the variables.

Everything is about money. The general rule of networking is it cost more to support more usage over any shared network (wired or wireless). How you address situations that cost more (greed vs need factor) is specific to the company.

Until SBC bought AT&T, there were two separate networks:
• AS7018 (AT&T Services; the Tier 1 backbone (formerly "AT&T Worldnet Services").
• AS7132 (AT&T Internet Services; the "Last Mile" customer network (formerly "SBC Internet Services")).
ATTS is traded with other Tier 1 networks "consideration free". ATTIS is, traditionally, "oversold", as are all "Last Mile" networks, serving residential customers. SBC buying AT&T did not change this. ATTIS is comparable to Comcast's CRAN, but nothing at all like Tier 1 network.

| | | | | Then I guess they need to address their network as needed in one of the 3 ways:
1.) Invest in infrastructure
2.) Raise rates to lower demand
3.) Do nothing and let the quality of the network discourage use and encourage users to go elsewhere thus freeing up more bandwidth for those that stay.
The funny thing about a network is that it ALWAYS runs as fast as it can regardless of the load on it. It may not take 100% utilization or even 10% utilization to do so, but it is certainly doing its part as fast as it can. | |

It probably does. I can't think of a better way to roll out faster speeds to a sparse rural area than throwing up some wireless towers. | |
|
| | | | | | Re: AT&T Struggling With Meter Accuracy Well, assuming that T is deploying more towers and RAN capacity where these customers are, replacing expensive, slow and unreliable land-line data service with even more expensive, slow, and less reliable wireless data service is not a winning proposition. There are still different needs for both. And while T has been throwing billions at wireless: lobbying the FCC, buying spectrum, building the occasional tower, upgrading from AMPS to TDMA to GSM/GPRS to EDGE to UMTS to HSDPA+ these 12-year-old DSLAMs and modems have remained untouched. And since this is DSLreports.com, not WirelessGaffe.com I think this is very disconcerting. And now T slams the users with consumption caps, how rude! | |

I wonder? Did they spend it on AS7018, or AS7132? They own both, but only AS7132 is amenable to FTTH. AS7018 is probably already 100% fiber; but they might have decided they need more core capacity for AS7018 (or more edge capacity for customers, such as Blizzard), over any kind of "Last Mile" fiber for AS7132.

New Orleans, LA | So what? Why does AT&T care? If their data meter goes crazy and says 1000 people went over the limit when none of them did, who exactly is going to punish them?
Would many of those 1000 just pay the penalties anyway? Probably since they don't know better with technology.
Bottom line, the WORST that can happen is someone take AT&T to Court and at the end of the day, get AT&T to admit no wrong-doing yet have them pay a HUGE $1000 fine and promise to be perfect angels in the future.
Some may say, "Yea, but if their meter goes wrong, people will NOT want to be a part of that!".......who thinks AT&T and others won't release statement after statement claiming that 99.9999% of their meters are super-perfect accurate?

Saint Louis, MO | Re: So what? Why does AT&T care? Actually, after AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, I would bet that AT&T's internet service agreement - like its wireless agreement - provides that its customers cannot sue AT&T, but - instead - are forced to arbitrate whatever problems/claims the customers have with AT&T . . . and customers must arbitrate such claims individually at that (no class-wide arbitration).
So - if the meter is off by a bit - and the amount a customer is overbilled is *relatively* small . . . AT&T can, effectively, rip-off many customers for a *relatively* small amount of $$ each and, effectively, face no legal sanctions (no economically rational customer is going to take an $10 a month claim to individual arbitration - i.e., spending thousands of dollars to recover hundreds of dollars). | |

They've expending so much energy, time, and money to come up with "innovative" ways to copy-protect the content, only to find out their efforts were largely ineffective (DeCSS for example). Likewise, it seems obvious that AT&T's estimate about the effort required to implement their plan was far less than the actual effort, time, money, etc. required, especially if they can't even tell when these new "meters" will actually be in place and be accurate. In the end, will it be worth it? It just smacks of greed to me.

Fort Lauderdale, FL | problems with the meters 1) how to differentiate between TV traffic and internet traffic. Yea, it sounds easy - like turning on logging onto the internet routers - until you have to upgrade the infrastructure to keep up with the amount of internet traffic users will generate.
2) how to prevent script kiddies from "ping of death" your IP addr. from what I understand, there is no good way to disconnect your public IP addr while watching TV, and if the script kiddies get your IP and just PING it - with or without the response - does that add to your usage? how can the meters remove it? Does the pattern work for HTTP traffic also?
3) how not to violate Net Neutrality rules. the ATT website is on the internet - they will want to copy it somewhere so that users do not get charged for paying bills or buying new service - like how its done on your cell (611). And possibly some other services (network sites, shows, etc). | |

Santa Monica, CA | Incompetence is as Incompetence does Its unfortunate that the mental giants in AT&T management couldn't be bothered to think through UBB thoroughly enough to do it right, the first time, for the benefit of all concerned.
But as I predicted long ago, here they are, waiving their metering because it simply wasn't designed, engineered, proven, or tested for accountability and accuracy. In the end, they will throw up their hands, charge more for slower tiers, and resort to other traffic-shaping methods.
If we are going to do UBB, it needs to be a genuine utility-meter device or protocol, which can be certified for accuracy by a 3rd-party testing firm, and it needs to support a lot more than just basic volume metering. | |

| Meters aren't accurate... As someone who has/had U-Verse during the UBB trials in Reno I can say that their meter didn't work worth a crap. It would almost always be off by SEVERAL gigs (sometimes too little, sometimes too much) and took DAYS to update. This was with a FTTP install. I actually think they are having problems making it work correctly with anyone with FTTP. If I had to guess their solution to this will be pulling the info from the RG's. | |
