Data Cap for UVERSE Internet?

@Ddsteele  I just maxed out everything but HD hour programs and had 200 hours of SD programming (6M only gonna get SD) adding up to 259.62 G of the 300 G cap.

Obviously that's probably much more than you'll use when they all are there, so I wouldn't worry about it.  Putting it back to realistic settings and still 200 hrs of SD streaming it's 174.37 G, way below the cap. 😉

It's more than 4%. They're liars. The meter has never worked and will never work. It's because they "think" that people will just give money for tv. The reason why people are dropping tv is  because it's too expensive.

Hi,

Talking to ATT customer service is like getting your teeth pulled.  They are very little help.

Received an email from ATT that on May 23 "there's a $10 charge for each 50GB of data you use over the allowance amount."

Does anyone know how to check you current and past usage to see if this will affect me? 

I tried calling customer service,  the person I spoke to could not help me so she tried to transfer me to someone else and I got dropped.  

Thanks

Per the email I received, the tools for checking how much data will not be available until May. It said "After May 23, 2016 log in to your account at att.com/myatt to find helpful tools to view your data usage. "

@brnguyen32   New caps 6M Internet and under 300 GB cap, 12M-100M 600 GB cap and over 100M 1TB cap.

On 300 GB, streaming less that 210 (7 hrs/day) hours of SD video and will not go over, on 600 GB if not streaming over 210 hours of HD (or 150 hours of HD and SD) video will not go over.  This includes all the other normal Internet data, checked things earlier on the calculator. 😉

If their meters are anything like what Comcast used, expect upwards of 25% variance between what AT&T claims and what your gateway might report.  Additionally there is not explanation what counts towards that data (such as their data snooping cookies).  I would expect that it will be initially enabled, to be followed by it quickly going away.  I also suspect where AT&T has no competition for the caps to be strictly enforced.  Where there is choice, it might be enforced.

Hi Chris,

Is this for mobile data? or is it for home internet also?

Beginning on May 23, 2016 we will be increasing the U-verse® Internet data allowance for many customers. After a grace period, and as our agreement provides, there's a $10 charge for each 50GB of data you use over the allowance amount.

Excuse my lack of knowledge of this, but don't only cell phones work off of data?  What exactly does the above statement mean? Are we talking about phones? I just use the computer and use my tablet and don't think about going over any certain amount of anything. Is this something I'll be having to monitor so that I don't go over 50GB?
