citing an official confirmation from AT&T rep Seth Bloom, DSLReports is, well, reporting that AT&T will pull the trigger on data caps on heavy users of its U-Verse and DSL offerings, starting May 2.

DSL users will receive a 150GB cap, while U-verse users will receive a 250GB cap, with penalties imposed after a customer exceeds the limits three times or more. The penalty's price? $10 per 50GB over the limit.

Notices will be sent to customers beginning March 18, so, enjoy those.

And as is the case with their wireless updates, U-Verse and DSL customers will receive alerts from AT&T as they approach 65, 90 and 100% of their allowance.

Data caps are loving bullstuff.

What sane person uses only 5 GB's worth of internet monthly?

Still, this one is an acceptable 150GB.

For "cool", "not nerds" and "hip" people 500MB monthly is enough.

[Fredulus]

anyone who uses that much internet a month
needs a loving life, or just torrents way too much stuff and should stop anyway.

250 GB for me now. Great.

The only people I got now are comcrap, and they truly suck here D:.

I installed DD-WRT on a LinkSys router, and it has a bandwidth report.

About a year ago, in some areas, my ISP experimented with a 5GB cap. I'm not sure if their still doing it or not.

As far as I'm concerned it's not AT&T's business wether or not I have a life.

I paid a certain am mount of money for infinite internet use, and now they're limiting it to 150, which is essentially ripping off the customer.
