Instead of T-Mobile typical speed reduction when you go over a data cap, the data roaming caps will just cut you off. Once you reach the more »

We did briefly mention the data throttling that Virgin Mobile was planning to start doing come October and well, here are a few more details.

Yesterday, we reported that many AT&T users with devices capable of accessing the newer 3G HSUPA network were experiencing capped upload speeds. In many different areas all over the United States, smartphone or Laptop Connect users were only uploading at 100kbps, when they should really be uploading at about 1Mbps. The difference is quite staggering more »

AT&T claims to have the fastest 3G network nationwide, despite all the issues it might have with all the iPhone users out there using the network. With it’s newer HSUPA network, the carrier should have 3G upload speeds up to about 1 Mbps. It looks like in some markets that number dropped this past weekend. more »

By now we’re all used to the standard 5 GB data cap on most cell carriers. After 5 GB of data is used, the carrier will start to charge you extra, making that unlimited data you signed up for seem for naught. Those data caps don’t seem to be going anywhere, though T-Mobile is changing more »

This week in tech saw a lot of open jaws and head shaking from observers like me. This week, I’ll point out the top four moves that makes me suspect drugs may have played a role in their decision to move them to the light of day. Here in tech, things move pretty fast; if you don’t stop and point out the crack heads, you could miss them.

Gigaom is reporting that the new 250GB cap Comcast announced recently may not be set in stone. In a chat with the site, Comcast spokeperson Charlie Douglas said the cap, which is roughly 100 times more than the average Comcast customer uses in a month, will likely rise as average consumption rises.

The state of Florida had fined Comcast a mere $150,000 in a settlement with the Attorney General after customers complained about having their service cut off for consuming too much bandwidth. The problem was Comcast refused to tell their customers just how much was too much. $100,000 of the fine will fund future consumer investigations and $50,000 will go toward the cost of the AG’s investigation of Comcast.

The day before the settlement was announced, Comcast announced that starting October 1st a data cap of 250GB would be put in place for residential customers. They insisted that the cap was more than generous, and compared to the recent 5GB caps put in place by mobile broadband providers such as Sprint, it certainly is. Comcast said to go over the cap a customer would have to send 50 million emails, download over 62,000 songs, or upload 25,000 high resolution photos.
