Re: comcast or verison for internet

att looking good:



"""
comcast throttles uploads - seems like after 10mb speed drops to
256kbs - does att do anything like that?

Cason: AT&T U-verse Internet service is based on Fiber Optics
technology and the advantage of this service is you receive the speed
faster as the data carried over Fiber Optics is an laser signals,
wherein the data carried over cable is an electric signals, the other
fact is cable is shared connection so the speed you receive with cable
Internet is shared and the speed fluctuate, but with AT&T U-verse
Internet service this would not be the case, you will receive constant
speed without any fluctuation, I assure you receive the best service
with AT&T U-verse and also find the value of your money.

me: url?

Cason: I am sorry, we do not have URL for that.

There is a 250gig/month cap, $10/g over URL for that:

http://www.att.com/u-verse/shop/customize.jsp#
24/3 for
$250 setup + $50/m * 12 month + $65/m * 12m =
>>> 250 + 50*12 + 65*12
1630

compared to comcast:

http://business.comcast.com/Internet/plans.aspx
basic: 12/2 and funky throttles (at least on my home connection)
>>> 60*24
1440

glad I asked, cuz comcast was looking like the better choice.  stupid
marketing depts.
