AT&T backed down and dropped these predatory data caps. It is infuriating that they tried to squeeze us for more cash but they finally realized we were not going to let them control our internet usage. Keep watching their next moves because we will be ready if they try this …

This company is not the only one. There are several others with established limits and test trials. The trials are ranging from 20-250gb per month depending on your speed package, the faster the higher they are generally. What happens when you have a large family that owns 2 or 3 PC's, but can only afford the smallest package. A family that continuously runs out of bandwidth is what. These companies are also creating "exclusions" from your limit i.e. If you buy their VoIP/Television service it doesn't count against your limit, but if you order and/or use say Vonage, MagicJack, Hulu, Netflix or Youtube and many others, It WILL. Do you want your Internet Service Proivider to tell you how many episodes of CSI you can watch in a given month, or how many Phone calls you can make with your Vonage Phone service despite their calling plans? If not then consider signing this petition. Together we may be able to convince them that metered billing is not the proper way to approach an alleged bandwidth shortage. Besides, would you rather not PREVENT this change before it occurs?

AT&T and these other providers think they can hide behind fake bandwidth shortages to line their pockets while they prioritize their own streaming junk over our choices. I am spending my time digging into their internal rate structures to expose exactly how they plan to bleed us dry with these data caps.

total greed. my kids watch netflix every day and we will hit that cap in like a week. ridiculous.
Absolute BS. Dont let them control our usage.
seriously?? 250gb is nothing these days. games are huge now. get with the times.
Enough with the data caps already. We pay way too much for service as it is. Stop trying to nickel and dime us for using the internet we already pay for.
No way im letting them decide what i can watch. internet is a utility now. they need to stop this nonsense.

This is just a scheme to force us into their cable packages. Keep the internet open and free of these predatory limits.
