I sure missed this one, but I found out that AT&T is imposing a cap of 150 GB on DSL users and 250 GB per month on U-verse users, with overage fees accumulating from there.
Of course "most" users won't be bothered by this, but if you are a user of iTunes movie/TV show rental/purchase, NETFLIX!!!!, MLB or NBA TV (online), Amazon Streaming, TiVo online services, Pandora, Sirius/XM Internet, VOIP from Vonage or other companies, VUDU, BOXEE (and of course BitTorrent) -- this WILL net you some unexpected fees in your next bill. You are the target to shut these non-AT&T "data hog" services down from their networks and to add to AT&T's lagging landline revenues.
The caps are REAL. They've imposed them quietly last month by press release, not to major news outlets like Fox and CNN, but instead to trade and industry publications. They also have NOT consistently notified customers of the upcoming overage charges. AT&T provided a website to allow customers to check how much data they are using -- it does not work, and I just a bit ago got off the phone with their Technical Services and it was confirmed not to actually be working for most users.
Time Warner did this 2 years ago and got smacked by outrage. AT&T didn't bother making it well publicized, so they're getting away with it.
Game over.......
