    ATT has data caps on ALL of their services. 250GB for anything not Gig. and 1TB for Gig.

    Seriously? So if you actually managed to get your full download speed, you could use your service for...two and a bit hours? I know that there's very few servers you could actually pull a single download from at that speed, but multiple people in a house using anywhere near your max speed for a few hours total during the month puts you over.

    Looking at my phone, I've used 12Gb of data this month and I didn't use it on the weekends. That's ~700MB a day. My home connection with a few people watching movies/TV with Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/YouTube, listening to music with Spotify/Pandora/Google, and downloading games on Steam? Shit, there's no doubt I'd be paying a bucket load of overages.

    ATLANTA, yays. I hope it makes out to where I am..for when things get better. I'd be glad to have a better choice than Uverse or Comcrap. (We're about 20-30 minutes east of Atlanta.)

    After they announced Google was coming to Nashville, the local companies stepped up BIGTIME. $99 a month - just got Fiber installed this morning:

    I so hate you right now.

    You should switch to google fiber anyways.... they don't give you anything until they are scared of losing market share.... fuck'em

  13. #93

    I can't until they start actually deploying it, I'd rather have 900/400 that you have for 99 than the 50/5 for 70 that I have...

    Think you got us mixed up. Google won't actually be available for 20-24 months from now. Also 900/450 is hell of a lot better than the 50/15 I was getting from comcast for the same price lol.

    Pages are literally loading almost before I click them

    Looks they said fuck it and gave you the commercial package for a fraction of the cost. We get that for older apt buildings where snaking new cable isn't worth it, and just roll "free QoS" wifi into the rent.

    This is why I herald the coming of Google Fiber and will for a long time to come. There's no reason why what Google Fiber is currently offering isn't the NORM right now in the US... in 2015. While what Google is doing right now is a great undertaking, it's not exactly something new in terms of speed, just new to the public (also the stripping of old copper and addition of new fiber infrastructure). Fiber benefits us in a world where much more bandwidth is needed for even simple tasks and entertainment.

    It's always about market share and dividends for these motherfuckers.

    So at&t has decided to bring GigaMax to areas where Fiber is available.

    Here's the catch:

    You get Walking Dead!
    You get 1GBPS internet!
    You get the same low price, for three years as long as you sign a contract!

    It's also not available yet, despite the fact that I have AT&T.

    I can get U-verse. They claim that U-verse with gigapower is in Raleigh, haven't seen where but I can't get it.

    This is why I am considering a relocation to Austin/San Antonio which was just announced for Google Fiber. The service is what others have said it should be the norm for service in the US. Our infrastructure is so far behind what other countries off it is ridiculous.

    Gotta love Comcast and today's constant ups and downs.
