Exclusive: AT&T To Impose Caps, Overages
Notices To Go Out This Week, Capping Begins May 2

Broadband Reports was the first to learn, and has confirmed with AT&T, that the company will be implementing a new 150GB monthly usage cap for all DSL customers and a new 250 GB cap on all U-Verse users starting on May 2. From March 18 to March 31, AT&T users are going to be receiving notices informing them of the change in the company's terms of service. AT&T spokesman Seth Bloom confirmed the news to Broadband Reports after we initially contacted him last Friday concerning a leaked copy of the upcoming user notification. According to Bloom, the cap will involve overage charges. However, only users who consistently exceed the new caps will have to deal with these charges.

This is how it will work: only users who exceed the new usage cap three times -- across the life of your account, not per month -- will be forced to pay these new per byte overages. Overages will be $10 for every 50GB over the 150 GB or 250GB limit they travel.

AT&T claims their average DSL customer uses around 18GB a month, and these changes will only impact about 2% of all DSL customers -- who the company states consume "a disproportionate amount of bandwidth."

"Using a notification structure similar to our new wireless data plans, we'll proactively notify customers when they exceed 65%, 90% and 100% of the monthly usage allowance," AT&T tells us. The company also says they'll provide users with a number of different usage tools, including a usage monitor that tracks historical usage over time, and a number of different usage tools aimed at identifying bandwidth-hungry services.

Regular readers will recall that this isn't AT&T's first experimentation with usage-based-billing. The company conducted trials of capped services and overages in Reno, Nevada and Beaumont, Texas in 2008. Those trials involved users facing caps ranging from 20GB to 150GB -- and per gigabyte overages up to $1 per gigabyte. The efforts were discontinued in early 2010. In contrast to those trials, which involved capturing nearly all users in an overage net -- this effort is aimed squarely at what AT&T considers consistently heavy users.

"We are committed to providing a great experience for all of our Internet customers," AT&T tells Broadband Reports. "We will communicate early and often with these customers so they are well aware of their options before they incur any additional usage charges," the company says. "Importantly, we are not reducing the speeds, terminating service or limiting available data like some others in the industry."

Keep in mind that AT&T is an investor in bandwidth-intensive services like OnLive's HD game streaming platform, and that the heavy user of today is inevitably the standard user of tomorrow. There's several questions reporters and consumers should now ask, such as whether such overages would be possible in truly competitive markets, or if AT&T has any raw congestion data proving this kind of action is truly necessary. The predominant question however should be: does AT&T scale these caps and overages to accommodate for the dropping cost of bandwidth and hardware moving forward, or will they bend to inevitable investor pressure and continually tighten the metered billing noose?

I would say that this would lose a lot of customers

except that anyone still using DSL and being a heavy DL'er probably just doesn't have access to cable.

Caps will destroy the net. I used 450gigs a month just on a IP camera. Caps prevents any new use of the net from being develop, and just wait for the endless inaccurate data usage issues.

I don't think the majority of people will go over the caps. So I don't think it will "destroy the net." It is still going to suck however.

Re: I would say that this would lose a lot of customers

The question I think is: once you allow companies to impose overages on terrestrial bandwidth, can you trust them to ease back on the noose as costs continue to plummet? Or are you opening the door to an increasingly-constricted pipe with pressure from investors making things worse for consumers over time?

YET.

Go back and look at what they say 3 years, 2 years, 1 year ago and today. In justifying the caps both the % of people going over the cap and the "average" monthly useage have gone up.

3 years ago the average user used 2 GB now it's 18 GB. Ok that's 9 fold increase. So in 3 more year you're looking at average use being 162 GB. Cap is 150 GB hmmmm.

3 years ago 1-10,000 went over the cap. Now it's 1-50. 200 fold increase in 3 years.

This is using the ISP own data.

As long as the caps change with the times, I am ok with it. So far, we have not seen the average user's bandwidth needs increase. Until then, as I said before, a 250gb cap is even good for us power users who do everything under the sun.

Re: I would say that this would lose a lot of customers

It is very possible to use that with an IP camera sending data off-site. The max upstream you can get with AT&T is 3Mbps. Streaming at 1Mbps will run you 330GB. Up the bit-rate a bit and you have 450gigs.

The point is....don't bullshit a bullshitter. I don't care if someone uses their line until smoke comes out of it. I don't like caps as much as the next person. Since these caps have come out, I have heard a lot of bullshit from people here.

"OMG, I stream Pandora and I use 500gb a month"
"OMG, I stream 1 IP camera and use 450gb a month"

Lets be frank here, you aren't going to use 500gb a month streaming Pandora 24/7 for the entire month. Same goes for the IP camera. Tell it like it is and be truthful. There is enough sympathy to go around. If you have to lie about it to make yourself look good, it just makes those of us (most of us on the forum) who know what the hell is going on to shake our heads.

Re: First

yea onlive uses a lot of bandwidth. it will eat into that 150gb very quickly. It makes me wonder why at&t even invested in it if they are introducing bandwidth caps as they will be a major blow to onlive unless onlive reaches some kind of agreement with at&t for the onlive service. I can see it now for an additional 15 dollars a month you can stream onlive games on a at&t connection on top of the dsl connection fee. more and more fees is the way i see it.

I guess it all depends on your viewing habits. Netflix HD is about 2 Gb a movie, so if you have the time to watch 1 movie every single day (which I sure don't), you would be down about 60-70 Gb a month.

Pandora doesn't use that much data at all (I believe their streams are 128kbps), you can probably stream it for 8 hours a day, and not reach 2 Gb. So if you listen to it every single day for 8 hours, you'll rack up another 60 Gb.

So that is about HALF your allotment of data, and you have used your internet connection for 10 hours each day. Add to that websurfing and email, which I estimate to be about 10 Gb per person in your family if you are HEAVY browsers, use Youtube a lot, and you ALL sit at your computers for at least 3 to 4 hours a day.... so with a family of 5 you have now hit 200 Gb.

The real kickers are these things:

- Torrents, especially seeding them.
- Online backup services like Mozy (although after your initial upload, it just updates the files.... but for home businesses and freelance photographers you might generate a Gb a day easy.
- HEAVY downloading from Usenet and other ehm.... more private sites.

Personally, I think I will be OK. I think I download about 100-150 Gb a month. Also, I think that the price of $10 for 50 Gb is quite fair. It's not going to break the bank when you go over.

What I want to know is though.... I have a watermeter, a gas meter, and an electricity meter installed, which are all certified to be accurate by county officials. Where is my internet meter, and how do I know as a customer that it is accurate? I can call the county and have my watermeter tested if I think it is not accurate. Who will test the AT&T internet meters?

You've hit it on the head, Maartena. I pay graduated rates for the rest of my utilities, no biggie. but their is a certification and regulation process with a transparent way to dispute and appeal conflicts.

RE: ISPs... Is ANYONE regulating and certifying the way they track our usage? Somehow I have no faith that the industry has our best interests at heart, nor do I believe that our lawmakers have the balls enough to stand up to the ISPs. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

Why a cap?

I guess I do not understand the need for a cap. I mean, are we going to run out of internet and need to ration it out?

IS there an internet shortage crisis that we should conserve our use of it so it will not be depleted?

What possible reason could be a valid need to impose a cap?

150GB not bad for the basic tier

If this includes the 768k/384k basic tier I'm on then 150gb a month isn't too bad. I doubt if I use 5gb a day even when watching youtube, hulu or other streaming video sites. Is this download only or combined upload/download?

1 thing I don't understand

Why the standard cap is lower than Comcast's 250 GB? The difference of 150 and 250 is 100 GB of additional $20 charges per month. I mean DSL prices are almost in the same range as cable with lower speeds.

AT&T -- the Texans continue to destroy their own game

As a former stockholder in a number of 'Baby Bells' I've watched in dismay as "The Texans" (as those who ran the former SBC, now AT&T, are known inside the company) have continued to destroy the legacy of a once great company.

Am I bitter because their mismanagement all but destroyed my retirement portfolio? Maybe just a little.

But even after finally divesting myself of the shriveled remains of my SBC holdings (I'd held other Baby Bell stocks but The Texans were a lot better at arbitrage than running a communications company and they were absorbed into SBC, where I saw my holding shrink to about 18% of their one time value) I continued to watch in disbelief as they mismanaged and mangled a once great company.

With connections to long time employees, I've had a bit of an insider view into that mismanagement.

Think they treat their customers badly -- like cash cows to be milked? It's nothing compared to what they do to their employees, who they grind down and then force out, pushing typical wages down ever-closer to burger joint wages.

And on the kinda good side, kinda

Well at least the overage charge is $10 per 50GB(20 cents per GB), instead of $2 or more per each single GB.
But if you go over the cap? Is the overage fee 'pro-rated'? So if you go over by 25GB's, do you then pay $5?

But streaming video is getting squeezed by the balls, to try and prevent people from cutting the old school TV cord.

Now lets see if users are testing to see if the Bandwidth meters are actually accurate.

If these telco/cable companies are going to insist on caps..

..then we really do need government oversite to make sure they are measuring bandwidth correctly. What's keeping the telcos and cable companies from getting a little "creative" with there determinations of usage? We have "weights and measures" divisions of government to make sure we are getting what we are supposed to at gas stations, grocery stores (items that are sold by weight, etc). We need a virtual weights and measures to oversee these bastards, cuz I'd be willing to bet that many of these companies wouldn't hesitate to screw it to their customers.

3rd party dsl..

Unless they are imposing the cap at the wholesale level, at least you can probably get DSL through something like DSLExtreme on att's line and get uncapped service. DSLExtreme has much better customer service and their service is rock solid in general anyway.

It's really no surprise why ATT would impose the cap now that they have their own TV service on the line though.

Don't you think customers in the affected areas should protest this the way Canadians did it?
If AT&T is allowed to implement this, VZ will follow them, then TW, then CV and all the other ISPs and their greed will destroy all the innovation that is going on the internet right now.

First AT&T Wireless with not sufficiently upgrading their wireless networks and then waiting until the "last minute" to do upgrades because the people complained of either slow data or massive amounts of dropped calls. Then another bout of alienation, low data caps for smart phone users. Now they are implementing caps with their DSL/VDSL Internet service users?

What is it with this company in which they are trying their very best to be the last place service provider? Who is in charge of this company? Retarded test monkeys on drugs? Business school rejects?

Seriously, this company has shot themselves in the foot so many times I'm surprised they have anything to stand on anymore. What are they standing on? Their bloody stumps?

Re: What are they standing on? Their bloody stumps?

I am not a fan of fraternities but if you went to college or university that has them, it is like the one of the worst cocky fraternities. They are the same bloodsucky bastards who not long time ago used hazing, now use whatever within legal limits but still horrible such as efforts in imposing excessive control not only inside their clubs but also outside on campus. A lot of it has to do with showing off (like volunteering) but the mission or goal is different from portrayed (discriminating others not in their club). Like politicians. Same bastards.

Amen! Fixing to kick their sorry asses to the curb. 6.0 is slow compared to Comcast's 12+ and the Comcast is smoother as well

If you live in northern California...

...consider Sonic.net. Their service is cheap, reliable, and you won't have to deal with a cap.
