jeffro Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 looks like ill be getting 250gb a month. honestly though, thats a shit load. unless your downloading mass movies and music, you have nothing to worry about. and if you are downloading movies and music, guess this is their way of slowing piracy. http://bpplanfinder.com/usage_calculator.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 250 is a lot and will probably never see the useage but its just the start of things. Just wait and they will start to offer usage packages as well. Just another way to make you for something that was once free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Remember when free markets used to breed innovation and force companies to offer more? Everything's a race to the bottom today. Instead of capitalizing on an opportunity to offer faster speeds and improved broadband infrastructure to gain customers, they just cap the service they provide to existing customers to make profits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicranium Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 OMG. Dude, what the fuck are you downloading. When I saw this news the other day I did some math on my usage and found that almost 250GB a month comes just from my having a channel on justin.tv that streams episodes of House 24/7 open for close to 18 hours a day (from the time I go to bed until the time I get home from work). The January number is so high because the site I download HD movies from had free leech for about 2 weeks that month...lol. I'm probably going to have to switch back to Insight (15/.768 vs. the 24/3 I'm getting from U-verse right now) and just pray that they follow Time Warner's lead with their RR service and offer 30/5 and 50/5 sometime in the near future. I definitely figure that I'm in the top 2% that AT&T said the effects were going to be largely limited to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I can't get wow where I live. Hopefully time warners 30mbit plan is available soon (and cheap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have my son on his xbox all day, me on my xbox at night, daughter on the computer, and wife on the laptop.... and we dont even use 20gb. There is data going in and out of my house for 22 hours a day. Are you people that use more than 250gb streaming high definition goat porn all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Wait what? If this ever comes close to affecting me I will promptly talk to the customer service agent's boss's, boses's, boss within 15 minutes, ask for my refund, then promptly cancelling my service.

Are you people that use more than 150gb streaming high definition goat porn all day Comforting to know, but still it is a bit ridiculous AT&T... Would this be because people are running servers for multiple machines, and taking up incredible amounts of bandwith for just a measly one service fee?

They are going to save butt loads of money in upkeep and have no additional need to expand by getting rid of the high data users. Its a win for them at the expense of network leaches. Every company will be following soon enough.. We are in the age of charge more for less to make bigger profits Verizon, Att.. who's next??
