Re: AT&T is suspending broadband data caps for home internet customers due to coronavirus
No they didn't do the right thing. The right thing would have been to eliminate the caps a decade ago. At 07:09 PM 12/03/2020, Sabri Berisha wrote:

Hi,
I am not worried. Residential ISPs are usually at peak in the late evening. They have loads of capacity during the day.
Do they have capacity to the right places?
The evening traffic peak is usually streaming entertainment bits from CDNs on the edge of the network.
Perhaps MPAA can follow AT&Ts lead and suspend copyright enforcement so people can torrent some entertainment? :)
I will say that as much as AT&T can be disliked by some groups, they did the right thing and are giving a great example.
Thanks,
Sabri

But it's so much fun to market that we don't have caps - and our cable competitor does. Expensive ones, too. Never stop your enemy when they are making a mistake. On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 5:04 PM Clayton Zekelman <clayton@mnsi.net> wrote:
