Broadband’s DSL Reports is reporting that notices will go out this week to U-Verse and DSL services, that they are going to cap data usage and charge customers for overages.
They have confirmed with AT&T, that the company will be implementing a new 150GB monthly usage cap for all DSL customers and a new 250 GB cap on all U-Verse users starting on May 2. From March 18 to March 31, AT&T users are going to be receiving notices informing them of the change in the company’s terms of service. The AT&T spokesman Seth Bloom confirmed the news but said that, only users who consistently exceed the new caps will have to deal with these charges.
Only users who exceed the new usage cap three times — across the life of the account, not per month — will be forced to pay these new per byte overages. Overages will be $10 for every 50GB over the 150 GB or 250GB limit they travel.
