AT&T's apparent decision to end its DSL metered billing trial in both Reno,
Nev. and Beaumont, Texas is perhaps the service provider's realization that
caps, even for non-power users, are far from fair.

According to a Broadband DSL Reports post, AT&T, while not confirming it
ended the trials, said it was not bringing on new customers. However,
consumer watchdog group Stop the Cap did interview one subscriber who said
an AT&T customer representative read him a document that confirmed the
trials ended on April 1. What's perplexing about the trial is that AT&T
never made an official announcement or told users it canceled the trial.

And despite promises of more affordable broadband prices, metered broadband
billing has been a bone of contention for users. Another case in point is
Time Warner Cable's broadband meter trials, which were also conducted in
Beaumont, Texas. After shouldering considerable protest

including Beaumont, the cable MSO decided to halt its metered broadband
billing plans
