Can you break that contract without paying an ETF?
OK, so you're satisfied w/ your ISP and the BW cap isn't a big deal to you. That's fine, as long as you're aware of it.I dunno...my new building doesn't have cable yet (Crapcast). DSL is the only game in town. I don't mind the download limit...I tracked myself last month..I only did 80 GB and I'll never download that much in one month again.
My big thing is online drops. When I used to have Comcast, I would drop from BF2 servers and other online game servers all the time...nice going a strafing run with your Cobra...or being in the middle of a dogfight or something then seeing "connection to server lost...retrying".
With AT&T I have good pings and I haven't been dropped from an online server once..knock on wood.
I tried to find out what my current usage was this weekend and was unable to do so. The link that was posted a few pages back redirected me to the standard account login page and when I went to the link that said usage details it said that I have "unlimited" service and that usage details were unavailable...
I'll look into that. I guess it'd need to be installed on every computer in the household. But certain Wi-Fi devices, like Internet radio players (e.g., Logitech Squeezebox Boom) can't be metered like that.It says that for me too..Try BitMeter...it's a good little app to monitor your daily, weekly and monthly usage.

That last part is huge. They should allow one to break the contract if they change the terms. But then again, like you said, they're huge ToS could say they can change the terms, steal your first-born child, etc., and most people wouldn't even have read about it to say "no".yes but the 28 page TOS agreement that no one bothers to read most likely said they're allowed to change their services at any time without anything you can do about it, except maybe letting you out of any 24 month commitment that you might have.
Run BitTorrent all day. And download, delete, download, delete, etc. various Linux builds.i'm trying to see how much i can download.
last month, i topped 150gb.
I will try to continue to max out my bandwidth just to spite them.

Dear AT&T Customer,That's cold!
Dear AT&T Customer;
Please don't worry about overages, use as much as you want...we'll just let you know how much you've gone over...and bill you for it, just as soon as we get off our greedy butts and get around around to it.
Notice that until further notice you ca not log into www.MyAbusage.att.com and check your usage, this (in)convenience is solely for our benefit and not yours.
Remember, do not be concerned about your data usage until it's too late.
Love ya like a cell mate

Yep. I'm trying to get most of my BT'ing done by then.When do they start the cap limitation? May 2?
I wish it was a 250 GB cap (like Comcast). It's only 60% of that; 150 GB.Yeah. The usage page still being down 2 days before the cap starts is real convenient. I doubt I hit the 250 cap, but would still be good to know where I stand. The cap pretty much kills most plans people might have to cancel tv service and just subscribe to hulu and netflix.
I just got my bill for the past month. It's over $60 for DSL and basic phone service. WTF?! Ridiculous.

What a rip off.
With my Verizon FIOS 25mb/per second download speed it doesn't take me long to reach 150GB.
Glad I have Verizon FIOS.
