didnt read any posts, only read first paragraph of the article
all things considered, thats not terrible. 150 gb is more then most use by a large margin, and 10 bucks per 50 gigs over is totally reasonable.
but i totally urge people to leave att who dont like this change in policy. caping bandwith because you are too cheap to throw money at your aging infrastructure is bullshait.

All depends on your distance to the CO (Co-Location). I just signed up for Sonic.Net and based on my distance of 5420 ft to the colo I should be getting between 8-9500 MB. A lot better than the 6 MB I was getting with AT&T Elite. Currently I am at a stable 12.5MB!!!. Xbox Anyone.

Ah you're just over a mile to the station, I dont think I'll be that lucky. I'll check right now as well. We stream alot of stuff at our house so I would get killed on low bandwidth/bandwidth limit.All depends on your distance to the CO (Co-Location). I just signed up for Sonic.Net and based on my distance of 5420 ft to the colo I should be getting between 8-9500 MB. A far cry from the 6 MB I was getting with AT&T Elite.

Thanks for the heads up I'm going to check to see how far I am.-Remington 700 .308, AICS Black, Bushnell 6-24 50 Scope

If you want the real answer then read this article. AT&T are able to get away with a 2000% markup on bandwidth costs and 70-90% profit margins because their customers are captive to a monopoly or a duopoly. If there were true competition you'd see uncapped gigabit to the home for less than $50/mo but there is no competition.
Bandwidth costs in the U.S. are between 2% and 5% of what we pay for broadband, a very minor part of the cost. So when the Washington Post suggested "It's expensive to run a broadband network," as a legitimate reason to block Netflix and other video I thought to revisit the actual numbers.
Broadband is an extraordinarily profitable service. Top Wall Street analysts John Hodulik of UBS and Craig Moffett of Bernstein both report broadband margins of 90% based on official company filings. My own figure is more like a 75% margin because I allocate additional costs, but either implies running a broadband network is actually inexpensive in relation to the price charged."Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." --FREDERIC BASTIAT--
