i don't get it..
explain please
You have a bandwidth cap. certain content providers on the internet like say Yahoo can pay AT&T money and AT&T will let its users browse that company's content without it effecting their bandwidth cap. so maybe CNN doesn't pay AT&T and when AT&T users go to CNN it cost them bandwidth for the month. well all the AT&T users basically go fukk CNN we'll just get all out news from Yahoo since it doesn't cost us anything. this drives up the traffic for Yahoo and drives it down for their competitors.

another example maybe Hulu pays AT&T and Netflix doesn't well AT&T users will end up canceling their Netflix accounts and switching to Hulu because they can watch unlimited content on Hulu without it effecting their bandwidth cap while Netflix takes away their monthly bandwidth.

yall simple as fukk and would run a business into the ground.

IF PEOPLE USED THEIR DATA JUST ON THEIR CELL PHONE EVERY COMPANY WOULD HAVE UNLIMITED DATA

WHEN YOU HAVE 95 MILLION CUSTOMERS AND 2-3 MILLION OF THEM ARE USING YOUR DATA FOR THEIR HOME INTERNET THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM AND THOSE 2-3 MILLION RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE

I SEEN PEOPLE AVERAGE 150 GB A MONTH :what: I DONT EVEN DO THAT ON MY CURRENT INTERNET AND I PLAY GAMES AND STREAM NETFLIX, ETC

SO IF IT WAS YOUR BUSINESS WHAT WOULD YOU DO? REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU SAY 150 GB FROM 1 PERSON ON 1 CELL TOWER IN A MONTH IS NOT NORMAL OR FAIR TO THE COMPANY OR TO THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA.. SINCE 140 GB OF THAT 150 GB IS STREAMING NETFLIX ON THEIR PLAYSTATION AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR CELL PHONE :camby:

ALL YOU ARM CHAIR CEOS WOULD HAVE BROKE ASS COMPANIES :camby:

:ohhh: SO WHAT YOU MEAN IS THAT GARBAGE SERVICE IS GARBAGE ??

I live in the BAY AREA

TECHNOLOGY leader of the ENTIRE WORLD

and T-Mobile and Sprint service is GARBAGE out here. I cant even imagine it in some back woods ass part of the country despite the 15 people on here who swear its good where they are at (its funny though, they always got scenarios to justify the garbage ass service.. "I get service every where with t-mobile except when im at my college campus, but I dont need my phone then anyway" :stopitslime: )


people saying it should be illegal :stopitslime:

here are your options:

switch to t-mobile or sprint
and receive garbage ass service :umad:

:stopitslime: I quit verizon almost an entire year ago. I just use rational and logical thought.

Blame the people streaming netflix on their 60" tvs with their android phone hotspot

and how many were using 150GB per month? That I would call abuse, but caps less than 20GB in this day and age is ridiculous with how important the internet is

So are you finally admitting that 1GB and 2GB plans are ridiculous and just a scheme to squeeze more money out of customers?
