3. AT&T instituted monthly broadband caps last year.

Your monthly fee only allows you 150GB of activity per month with DSL - 250GB with Uverse. After that, they charge you $10 more for an additional 50GB.

I average about 2 hours of Netflix a night, and with that, my average usage per month is around 50GB.

I've never exceeded 70GB in any one month period, but then again I'm not streaming HD content.

Personally, I'd advise against using AT&T if you have other options.
