AT&T Goes Against Everything They've Said
AT&T is making a mad money grab by having a monopoly or duopoly in many of the areas they do business. By imposing a 250gb bandwidth cap starting next month they royally screw their customers, unless you want to get dinged with 10$ charge after 10$ charge for every 50gb you go over.
At 10mbps, it would take 2 Days 11 Hours 39 Minutes to download 250GB...
At 1.5mbps, it would take 16 Days 2 Hours 20 Minutes to downoad 250GB...
At 24Mbps, one of their services, it wouldn't take a day to use your cap.
Currently there are 88 pages on this one thread alone with absolutely enraged customers mad at AT&T. Google, please buy AT&T's internet branch and let us be bandwidth cap free, then bring us all gigabit!
I'm very sad as I use half of that just in video/podcasts a week as I listen to 16-20 hours of audio a day at work (double speed), I have several TB of data backed up online, uploading just 1 hour of 960p video offsite backup or to youtube from my GoPro would take me past my cap. 1 hour: 265.42 GB... not to mention uploading all the stuff I shoot with my SLR... and guess what, I either stay with AT&T and their 250GB cap, then pay 10$ for every 50gb I go over, or switch to Comcast and have 260GB Cap. *sigh* Duopoly *gag*
