[GRLUG] An FYI - AT&T imposes byte limits

[Bob Kline]

LUSFiber offers a terabyte a month,
and 50Mbps full duplex, for $58 a month.

I'll crack my wallet open for that, but of
course would have to live in a more enlightened
place, like Lafayette, LA.

AT&T's service is reasonable only by
GR standards, if that......
