U-Verse question
by captjc | September 12, 2008Mark, what do you make of this?
Taken from
AT&T High Speed Internet Terms of Service / att.net Terms of Use
"In order to provide a consistently high-quality video service, AT&T Uverse High Speed Internet throughput speeds may be temporarily reduced when a customer is using other U-verse services in a manner that requires high bandwidth. This could occur more often with higher speed Internet access products. It may be necessary, for some AT&T High Speed Internet users, for AT&T to set a maximum downstream speed on a customer line to enhance the reliability and consistency of performance. While this performance optimization process will prevent some customers from obtaining the maximum downstream speed capability, service capability speed will not be set lower than the service tier you have purchased."
Looks like there trying to cover their butts. It sounds like they are saying, watch HD shows and your internet will slow down.
