AT&T already cap its data plansat 5 GB a calendar month , but theytold the FCC on Fridaythat if they catch you using their mobile broadband internet for P2P , they ’ll nuke your report . Specifically , senior VP of grapple with the government Robert Quinn said that “ AT&T ’s full term of service for mobile wireless broadband customers prohibit all uses that may make extreme connection electrical capacity issues , and explicitly identify P2P Indian file communion covering as such a use . ”
Apparently they do n’t apply any connection direction for the wireless broadband meshing , meaning there ’s nothing in position that ’ll slow down or stop P2P ( or any other bandwidth - hogging app ) . It look like this P2P ban applies to the iPhone as well ( waiting for check on that ) , despite assertion earlier that itsunlimited data usagewas truly unlimited - so do n’t hold your breath for a video P2P app ( like Joost or something ) on your iPhone . Below is AT&T ’s official rationale .

Unlike wired broadband networks where the maximum numeral of potential simultaneous drug user in a given neighborhood is have it off in feeler , the maximum number of possible fluid wireless broadband users that may simultaneously assay to access a give cell internet site at any finicky clip – and thus the collective table service experience for all users at that site , for both data and vocalization services – is far less predictable due to the inherently roving nature of wandering wireless users .
In Holy Order to provide timbre service to all our customers , our term of service for mobile wireless broadband do prohibit uses that may cause uttermost connection capacity issue , include P2P single file share-out .
Our price of service are like to those of other wireless providers .
Use of a P2P filing cabinet share-out software would be a falling out of contract that would appropriate us to terminate a substance abuser ’s service . That said , since the vast absolute majority of customer bide by their contract , we have so far found it unnecessary to give notice anyone ’s service for this reason .
