ATT: unlimited bandwidth equals 5gig

[Allfetish]

I had their mobile broadband for my laptop but canceled within the 30 days to avoid the contract. Their overage charges were something like $500 per GB -- no that's not a typo -- Five hundred dollars per GB over 5 GB in a month. In my opinion that sort of overage charge ought to be criminal.

To confuse people they also like to present the overage as a charge per MB ... most of the people out there don't know the difference between a KB, MB, or GB.

Yeah, I know my cable(medium sized) uses $1/100mB for overages. When I was talking to their billing support one time, I tried pinning them down about how they could charge $10/gB when tier one is getting arounf $0.25/gB. Nothing like a 4000% markup eh!
