$10 is fully half the monthly fee for ATT DSL. So they are charging quite a bit more for data if you go over the cap.

I'd be less ticked off if the rate above cap were more similar to the rate below cap, and if the cap allowed saturating your link more than 9% of the time, which is what this cap does for DSL users with a typical 6.5 Mbps download speed.

To buy a connection that can actually be used 24/7 with the new price structure would cost well over $200/month. That's not cool.
