[QUOTE=Shugo;50247025]They never enforced the old cap anyway, at least in my area. I've never had to worry about it, and I've broken that cap numerous times (especially back when it was like 250GB).[/QUOTE] Same thing with East link here in Canada I've gone over my bandwidth cap tons of times and haven't got any extra charges yet.
[QUOTE=Shugo;50247051]Probably based on how large and populated the area is, then. I live out in the quiet edges of Metro Detroit where they probably don't really care about it.[/QUOTE] They have never enforced the cap here in Houston. The data usage page has showed the cap has been suspended dating back to at least 2008.
That's cute, Comcast. 1TB cap. Guess they missed the memo that AT&T is removing it's data cap for customers who have internet + TV in mid march and doubling all the standalone caps.
At&t's data cap varied between service. 150GB for standard DSL, 250GB for adsl2+/VDSL u-verse, 500GB for 100-300Mbps packages and 1TB for FTTH u-verse. They've been quickly changing things after that DirecTV merger.

Source: I work for AT&T [editline]5th May 2016[/editline] So literally doubled because it used to be 150/300/500 for those tiers. Not to mention the unlimited for bundled customers. We are also changing how we handle overage fees. The new system will give you 2 months without an overage fee if it is your first and second time going over your cap. There won't be overseas until the third time and it will only be $10 for an extra 50 gigabytes capped at $100 Max for 500 more
Comcast is the same way -- $10 per 50gb, with a 3 strikes before they start charging
Yes but their caps were historically lower than other ISPs and they dont do unlimited.
They started by having a 150gb cap. That doesn't sound lower than comcasts old 300gb cap [editline]5th May 2016[/editline] My ISP caps at 250 with no way to go over unless cough proxy
The 150gb cap was only for sub-6mbps dsl connections which aren't sold anymore

[QUOTE=Levelog;50265582]Pretty sure you can still get them here. Here being middle of nowhere, Mississippi.[/QUOTE] Grandmother was stuck with the same cap and rate in a city with comcast and had the price jacked up to $80/m before she moved back to comcast.
Christ I misread the thread title as 100 GB and was ready to flip a miniature tea table
