Thats exactly what I want our competition to do.. its good for the
little guy to pick up a few scraps and possibly some of the best
accounts.
We have let customers go because they thought the grass was greener and
when they get a little humble after 6 months they come home.

That Net Neutrality fine was the best thing that happened to them, it

Just like the CAN SPAM Act was good for spammers because it
established the boundaries for legal spamming.
AT&T will tell you that unlimited means 22 GB, or that 4 people can
share a 10 GB data plan, and people will believe it because they have
no idea what a gigabyte is.

AT&T is building towers here like crazy after being deregulated from
having to provide copper service here. They are installing the home
fusion type boxes too. Unlimited Internet in their docs say "22GB".

It says they are participating in the CAF not being supported by it.
Arkansas along with a few other south east region states are
considered very rural.

No detail there. I don’t know how, unless they are doing one of
the experimental CAF projects like Rise/JAB is doing.

Yeah,
I faintly remember that discussion. Not all its cut out to be.
It just gives more fodder to the FCC for better coverage to ATT
so that they can buy some time to block other incumbents for a
chance at some subsidy moneys.
They are using the CAF to do this with.

Verizon has, or had, an LTE fixed solution a few years ago. I
am pretty sure it was depply discussed on this list. It was UBB
at around 10G for $100 if memory serves. ATT will likely try to
be in the same ballpark.

"unlimited" to a big ISP/cellco means throttling after
some finite cap. They are greedy shitbags.

Since it will likely be licensed, it is unlikely to be
unlimited IMO.
