Re: Not a bad strategy either...

Exactly...
I'm happy with a solid/unthrottled/uncapped 3Mbps/512kbps fastpath DSL connection at $25 price range.

The problem that I will see in the near future...
Companies will 'sour' the basic/low end plans with low caps and/or throttling. Forcing users up to higher end plans.

What doesn't make sense from a technical standpoint is throttling/capping low (1.5Mbps) plans... they aren't consuming 'excessive' amounts or disrupting as 10-50Mbps users can. Its a pure cash grab by souring the basic plan to be unusable.

Uhhhh....

Do you mean $30? 3.0 mbps / 512 kbps. AT&T just raised the prices on that speed tier by 5 bucks.

If you are still under a contract, you won't see the change until your term ends.

And when that happens...I'll deal with it then.
POTS fees are what kills me.

yeah what happened to LOW PRICES?

i'd love to have your $25/month package - i can't really get dsl that fast - that's what needs to be fixed, not more expensive and faster, but better service and cheaper.
