US - AT&T broadband users will soon face a cap

[benitok]

"..AT&T broadband users will soon face a cap on the amount of internet data they can download a month.
Traditional DSL users will be capped at 150 GB per month, while subscribers to the fiber-backed UVerse system have a 250-GB limit. Usage over that will be charged at $10/month for 50 GB, the company says.."

You don't just "get" is as part of the good deal, you pay for uncapped.

Yes that's true but they don't just get the 150Gig for nothing, they also pay for it even though it is much cheaper than ours.

At least it's a high cap instead of Canada's 25GB caps they were mooting - and $10 for 50 gigs is still a good deal I'd say.
