AT&T Looks at Bandwidth Caps

Posted by geeknews at 7:23 PM on June 7, 2008

Well the more we go forward the more we go backwards. I predict a major revolt by users as another ISP contemplates bandwidth caps. These actions are going to cost a lot of companies money.

People simply will curb their bandwidth utilization as they will be scared of busting network limits. These companies continue to allow the United States to drop in broadband speeds as compared to the rest of the world. These companies have failed to invest enough in their network infrastructure to keep up.

The Internet Service Provider that remains brave and willing to stay with policy of old will win the admiration of people like me who are not happy with companies like AT&T and Time Warner who are going to put in place bandwidth limits. [Gizmodo]
