Another ISP tries to cap data downloads


ATT aa

NEW YORK: AT&T is placing a limit on the amount of data its home Internet subscribers can transfer in a month. It portrayed the move as an attempt to curb “data hogs,” but it could help the company preserve a revenue stream in the long run as Americans shift to Internet-based TV services.

AT&T said it will start charging extra after subscribers go past 150GB in a month, an amount it said only 2% of subscribers reach.
