Everyone should let AT&T know this is a bad move and will slow the progress of the internet. use AT&T for internet now and will have no issue moving off if needed. I use Vudu and other internet technologies to watch TV and this limit would be an issue.

In Australia, internet acess is expensive, unreliable and bandwidth increase is being restricted by the monopoly Telstra. Every time I return home from Europe or Asia, it's comical to find myself using glorified dial-up to carry out basic internet tasks (banking, e-mail, and of course endless Windows updates).
