Took a while but I found the contradicting statements (I'm sure there are plenty more). I quit AT&T U-verse because of the data caps. I was happy with the service and didn't mind paying a bit more for stability versus cable. And yet every time I read about their shenanigans, I get that much more fired up!

So what do customers like again AT&T? Or is the next infallible survey going to be that we would prefer to sign over all bank accounts, stock, and even our first born to you as well? Mark my words AT&T, your time of corruption is coming to a close. Someone will leap frog you before you know it... and I will be first in line to greet them with open arms. In the meantime, raise some hell and file a complaint with the FCC.

Unlimited texts
AT&T: "The vast majority of our messaging customers prefer unlimited plans and with text messaging growth stronger than ever, that number continues to climb among new customers," AT&T said in a statement today as explanation.

Broadband caps
AT&T: Our new plan addresses another concern: customers strongly believe that only those who use the most bandwidth should pay more than those who don't use as much.

It simply makes no sense imposing data caps these days. Think about how much more data you use than you did just a few years ago - Streaming services (Netflix, Hulu), digital distribution (Steam, D2D, Amazon), general content, etc.

Time Warner tried this in Austin a couple years ago and it backfired on them. They lost a load of customers. I actually switched to U-verse because of it. They ended scrapping the whole idea. This is their chance to shine and announce: "no data limits" "we miss you come back and enjoy all the Internet" As far as the whole "98% of users won't be impacted by this change" BS... I'm going to call BS on that and go a little further. Even if people don't hit the cap, they like having the unlimited option available. Example: If my hard drive crashes, I have over 300GB of games to download from steam. And that's only the ones I'm currently playing!

Call them and complain (be firm but be nice). I called and got disconnected the first round after a 5 minute hold. The second time when the automated system asked why I was calling I said "I'm pissed off!" I was immediately connected to a rep! The rep said he didn't know anything about it. His supervisor said the same thing.

And if they still go through with this crap - switch. Vote with your wallet folks!

Let us not forget this quote: "He acted stupidly..."

FYI - Palin didn't say this.
This article is written in such a biased manner that it makes me ill.

I'm guessing Dildo; Newfoundland got their mold from Ding Dong, Texas. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=ding+dong+texas&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Ding+Dong,+TX&gl=us&ei=ZkqITMfjE4O0lQettMGgDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ8gEwAA

As I said, the comment makes people flare up. Flamebait. Doesn't matter what side you're own. From not RTFA and only the headline, this senator sounds like a piece of work indeed. I don't know about yall, but I thought his comments (from not RTFA) sounded like text book RIAA, MPAA responses. Anyway, I'm done with this particular sup-thread.

The one day I don't have mod points to mod this down. This is obvious flamebait or a troll. Take your pick. Maybe even possibly funny with the whole "right" comment but not insightful.

EA has literally saved me hundreds of dollars thanks to their absurd DRM approach. Instead of buying BioShock, Spore, Mass Effect, etc, I've been able to pocket all that cash. It basically boils down to this: No one tells me how many times I can install something on my computer! How many times a year do I reinstall my OS? No one takes control of my computer and shuts down programs I'm using! Get a clue EA.
