AT&T Rolls out 150GB bandwidth caps.

[Otis Da HousKat]

They do it because they know you need the internet and will pay obscene amounts of money for it. It's simply corporate greed as bandwidth isn't a physical commodity.

Exactly, but will it get as bad as what the article linked to in the OP details?

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad I have Comcast.

When called up, Comcast says there's a 250gb bandwidth cap on my internet service. When asked, teh Comcast rep in Best Buy says there's no cap unless you have the cheapest service plan (which I don't.)

I'm hitting the cap, and if they give me any stuff, I'll just say I was told by someone working for them that there was no cap.

Probably not.

Comcaster here. Hate them, but at least I don't have a cap.

Comcast has a 250GB limit, but I never hit it. As of right now, I'm up to 154GB for the month. Good thing I'm not using AT&T.

Can anyone explain bandwidth to me quickly please? I know I sound stupid for asking this, but I'm just wondering.

[dkamm65]

It's the data you send or receive.

Yay, just another thing that strengthens the line between the Gentry and  the Commonwealth.
