AT&T data limits on home internet?

The 1 Gbps Gigapower version has no data cap. Over here in Houston, Comcast has a 1 TB limit. at&t has a 1 TB limit on the 100 Mbps Gigapower tier. I forget if it lowers any on the 75, 45, 24, 18, etc. connections.

Thanks for the responses all!

That's where I am, exact same scenario but when my wife called and upgraded our internet she was promised unlimited and 60 for 2 years. Our first bill only shows a year. We had 3 separate emails sent to us confirming our new package and I be damn if every single one of them didn't show the 1000gb limit. And every single time my wife and called and supposedly got it taken care of. Every single time they said it is fine, it will not show up on your bill. And here we are with our first bill.

I am convinced of two things, (1)they will tell you whatever to make you happy regardless if it is true and (2) they prey on old people and the unaware.

To the rep above, every single tech I have had in my home has been awesome! You guys are great but the customer service is the worst thing. I have ever had to deal with.

I appreciate it Kevin! Dealing with these people is seriously bad for my health.

How did you put up 80 GB in 2 days? I can play online video games and stream movies all day on the weekend and not put up anywhere near that

But yea I agree, providers are crap now. Hidden data limits are absurd. And every company either cuts you off at some point and charges you for overages, or they throttle your speeds past a certain point (more than they normally throttle them anyway). Internet and cell service providers are all crap, unfortunately the infrastructure is so expensive that it's hard for anyone else to get into the game to push them for better service and better rates

I am not sure how we put that up but our account is showing 80 used with 28 days left. Granted, it showed that yesterday with 27 too. I hope everyone is right, I hope we never sniff the 1,000gb, but my point remains, I have never heard of home internet having caps and AT&T is still the worst company in the world to deal with.

Or any provider for that matter, is this really a thing?

This is why Net Neutrality is huge. If it is done away with data caps will get even worse.

have AT&T for Internet and those frickers promised us when we upgraded our internet that we would have no limits, yet our first bill came and low and behold we have a 1,000GB limit. We have used 80GB with 28 days left in the month

Send a complaint to the FCC

What in the world are you doing to burn 1TB of data in one billing cycle? I have 3 apple TV , ipad, 2 laptops, wifi washer/dryer, Hue System, 1 Workstation where I play Computer Games, plus an XBOX One, and NEST and don't even sniff that kind of consumption lol!

Its actually pretty easy.

I used to stream (recently signed up for direct tv however) and would average about 280gb a month.

what the frick are you complaining about then? You're not even close.

I have a 1000GB limit, although they say they don't enforce it, on my Cox internet. We have 6 TV's that stream, as well as my wife playing on her phone, me working from home and the kids playing on tablets from time to time.
cut the cord about a year and a half ago. Most data I've ever used was around 800Gb, and I know I am a very heavy user. most months we are around 500Gb.
