I-DSL ekutholeni izinqubomgomo njengezihlinzeki ze-Cable ne-Satellite
I-AT & T yamemezela ukuthi izobeka umkhawulo ekusetshenzisweni kwe-intanethi nyangazonke (" ukusetshenziswa okulungile ") kumakhasimende e-DSL ne-U-Verse Internet. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-AT & T izosebenzisa ama-caps wokusebenzisa njengalabo abakwa-broadband cable nabahlinzeki be-satellite internet. Imingcele izoqala ngoMeyi 2.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ukuvinjelwa kwe- DSL kwe-intanethi kuye kwaphuma kusuka ku-1.5 Mbps kuya ku-6 Mbps. Ukwanda kwejubane kanye nesidingo sokusakazwa nokulanda ama-movie okucacisa okuphezulu kuholele ekujuleni okukhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwe-bandwidth ye-intanethi.
Umkhawulo wenyanga wendawo ye-AT & T ye-DSL kuyoba ngama-gigabytes angu-150 yedatha. Uma ikhasimende lidlula umkhawulo wama-gigabytes angu-150 ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili, uzokhokhiswa u- $ 10 kuwo wonke ama-gigabytes angu-50 awandisa umkhawulo, kuqala nge-infraction yesithathu. Kubonakala sengathi i-AT & T iyaqonda ukuthi ingathatha ukulungiswa kwabanye abasebenzisi ukuthi basetshenziselwe ukusakaza nokulanda kancane kusuka kwi-intanethi.
Kumakhasimende we-U-verse, umkhawulo uzoba yi-250 gigabytes ngenyanga. Nakuba lokhu kungahle kubonakale njengesabelo esikhulu, ukusakaza ama-movie ecacile aphezulu, amahora omculo, ukulayisha nokulanda izithombe kuqala ukufaka phezulu - bona ukuthi ungenzani ngama-gigabytes angu-150.
Ukuze ubeke lokhu okucacile, abahlinzeki be-intanethi ye-cable broadband bebelokhu bekhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwenyanga gigabytes ngamagigabhayte angu-150 abasebenzisi be-premium. Imali yabo yokukhokha ngokweqile ivame ukufika ku-$ 1 kuya ku-1.50 gigabyte ngayinye emkhawulweni we-150 GB. Imali eyengeziwe ye-AT & T yinto enkulu ngokuqhathanisa. Imingcele ye-Satellite ye-provider yomhlinzeki iyancipha kakhulu.
Futhi, ngokusho kommeli we-AT & T, isevisi ye-AT & T DSL High-Speed Internet Direct Elite ihamba ngo-6 Mbps futhi ibiza u-$ 24.95 ngonyaka wokuqala kanye ne-$ 45 ngemuva kwalokho. Qhathanisa leyo ntengo kumsebenzi we-cable broadband okungenzeka ukuthi ugijime kufika ku-60 Mbps futhi ubiza cishe u-$ 100 ngenyanga. Bobabili banemingcele efanayo. Isevisi ye-DSL isengcono futhi ayibolekisi emikhakheni emikhulu yokulanda. Amakhasimende we-U-verse angafinyelela ku-18 Mbps futhi umkhawulo wayo yi-250 gigabytes. Lokhu kusengcono kakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokusho kwezindaba ze-Broadband Reports:
"I-AT & T idinga ukuthi amakhasimende abo ajwayelekile asebenzisa i-DSL azungeze i-18GB ngenyanga, futhi lezi zinguquko zizophazamisa kuphela ama-2% kuwo wonke amakhasimende e-DSL - okuthi inkampani ithi idla 'inani elingavumelani lokuhamba komkhawulokudonsa.'"
Njengamanye izaziso zokusetshenziswa ezingenazintambo, i-AT & T izovumela amakhasimende ukuthi azidlula uma edlulela ku-65%, 90% no-100% wesikhokhelo sabo sokusebenzisa ngenyanga.
Singaqiniseka nje ukuthi njengoba isivinini se-intanethi siqhubeka sanda futhi siqala ukusakaza amabhayisikobho e-3D, ukuthi abahlinzeki be-AT & T, abakwa-cable nabathengisi be-satellite bazoshintsha imingcele yokubhekana nesidingo sokusetshenziswa kwe-intanethi.
