The question of broadband metering is becoming more important by the day. And while there's much to be discussed about the cost of bandwidth, the trends of consumption, the public money involved in the infrastructure, and so on, one basic fact today is this: AT&T wants to put caps on your bandwidth, but they can't be trusted to measure it correctly. That's not a situation consumers should take without protest. Readers over at Broadband Reports are noticing marked differences between AT&T's measurements and their own. One user found differences of several orders of magnitude. Now, if AT&T (and of course Comcast and others) are unwilling to allow for wiggle room in their GB caps (fees start the byte over 250GB), why should we allow wiggle room in their measurement? After all, we don't let grocers use poorly (or maliciously) calibrated scales.
