Yup, I saw that announcement yesterday. I'm leaving AT&T this month.

I want FiOS or U-Verse but they don't offer it in my area, and I've heard Time Warner in the Irvine/Costa Mesa area is awful

[tngay510]

how did you check your usage?

I run DD-WRT firmware on my router and it stores the info

lol, SOO glad I don't have AT&T. I'd go exceed that DL cap in about a week and a half...

Cox FTW!

I think them and Comcast are really doing this because of online content providers like Netflix.

Comcast have been scumbags for as long as I can remember

I've been on cable for the past 9 years in LA. We've used DSL here & there since that was the only service available in certain locations (friends, work, family members.... AT&T and Verizon), but overall cable internet service was much faster and more reliable each time.

Never been on Comcast, but always on TWC and Charter. Never any problems with either.

I wanted AT&T for FiOS but now that they're doing this I'm very glad I went with Time Warner cable modem. In my Spanish speaking neighborhood I'm the only user so its not unusual to see 50 Mb/s downloads.

Thanks for the info, I use AT&T U Verse and did not know this.
