Has anyone else gone over the limits of their cap with AT&T? I just looked at my DSL usage.... which until now you could not view your current amount, but it appears last month I went over 100.00 GBs! Is anyone out there thinking this is complete incorrect and insane. Is there a way to throttle the streaming quality of NetFlix ?

It was mentioned within an article that ATT would notify customers that reached half of their limits and over, yet there has not been email or other means of communication in regards to this. I am wonder if you all have seen increase in your usage or if anyone else went over.

I averaged about 44 GB the first three months of this year, mainly from movies. Now with MLB.TV I'll probably be at 100 GB this month. I have friends with ATT who have seen increases since baseball started.

As long as I'm under 150, I'm not going to worry about it.

Isn't the AT&T cap 150gb? If so, you didn't go over.

I hit darn near the 250GB Comcast limit every month. I do use an online backup service which contributes probably 30GB monthly. The vast majority of the rest is streaming. Unfortunately Comcast doesn't offer me another option to pay for more monthly transfer even if I wanted. I think perhaps I could get business class, which I don't think has a limit.

That is the limit, but last month they stated I used 253 gbs

You'll have to redo this every time the Roku reboots.
I'm hoping Roku will put this in the settings someday soon?

Thank you so much. I was unaware that this option was available.

ATT has been planning this for months. Log into this website with your primary ATT account, you should be able to view your data usage and limits. http://www.att.com/esupport/internet/us ... Pb2b3R-DKz

i heard from someone who uses AT&T that some older accounts are grandfathered in. i'm not sure of the details, AT&T is being pretty closemouthed about them.

I believe that there is a difference between ATT's standard DSL service and their "U Verse" service. It's their standard DSL service that is being capped.
