AT&T DSL bandwidth caps imposed on small business customers

[ChromeFoundry]

For those unsatisfied with AT&T recent announcement of capping DSL customers to 150 GB per month of combined Up/Down bandwidth...
Thinking that you could get around the cap by ordering DSL for Small Businesses to your home, think again.

Original story: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Exclusive-ATT-To-Impose-Caps-Overages-113149

According to AT&T Small Business Services (1-800-660-3000), small business customers will be have the 150GB limit imposed on these lines as well.

To add insult to injury, they have also increased their "HSI-Elite DSL package" charges to $40.00/mo, up from $38.00/mo., in most areas.

More for less!

2. Why would any small business or new customers for that matter

go with AT&T as their ISP then? This makes no sense for AT&T to be doing this.

4. Tell me about it...

I read a report of a user disconnecting his WAN cable between his router and DSL Modem (which was in Bridging mode) for three days while he was out of town.
He checked his bandwidth usage when he returned and it showed that he used 1.5GB for the three day period - without a freakin PPPoE connection even established.

I smell a big fat rat!

6. And AT&T's own services are unmetered.

There's got to be an antitrust violation here.
