[...] Additionally, data retrieved through the VNI Pulse application that Cisco offers for folks to track their own network traffic showed that yesterday individual users downloaded more than twice the amount of data they do during a normal day, at 322 MB vs. a typical average of 159 MB (using an admittedly small sample size of 100 people). Doug Webster, a marketing executive with Cisco, speculates that many people had the inaugural festivities streaming in the background while they did other things, but if one day of online streaming pushed up your data traffic by more than 100 percent, imagine how a regular viewing habit would affect you under a broadband cap — or with any tiered service that charges overage fees.

Actually do not put much emphasis on 150GB, as that is only available for UVerse customers.

This page has the caps based on vanilla DSL customers. As you can see, the Elite count has a cap of 80GB, not 150GB. The lower amount is enough to make services such as Netflix WatchNow, Hulu, et al no longer a feasible video alternative.

This is bogus; they are limiting bandwidth not because of cost of delivering the service but the threat of people using the internet to watch TV and movies tapping into their cable TV profits. Everyone should let AT&T know this is a bad move and will slow the progress of the internet. use AT&T for internet now and will have no issue moving off if needed. I use Vudu and other internet technologies to watch TV and this limit would be an issue.

Hopefully the impending Democratic administration and congress will take monopolistic abuse, and their duty to protect consumers a little more seriously. It would be nice if they could end this nonsense soon rather than later.
