AT&T fiber customer here, I didn't even know I had HBO* until I got a paper mailing from them. I would never have purchased it otherwise as I find their pricing out of line with their content; pretty much what I think of every offering other than Disney+
Yeah, no app on my LG C9 but I can stream perfectly fine from my Verizon connected phone with the AT&T app and it looks and sounds great.
If anything the HBO debacle isn't a Net Neutrality issue but more of how bad a management team can fuck up a product launch. It is a product people know exist but don't know exactly what it is or how you get it and the confusion multiplied by too many names.
fwiw, my neighbor has three kids and between him and his wife they stream everything under the sun. Neither he nor I have ever seen cap issues so these might be regional or softly enforced.
also, be careful what you wish for, all utilities are metered and there is no guarantee a final construct for internet being a utility does not inflict that along with all sorts of associated fees to insure access beyond those we have now.
- cromulent 6y agoSewage isn't normally metered, but yes.
- Rychard 6y agoIn my experience, sewage is billed based on water usage, which makes sense to me. If you use some water, presumably it has to go somewhere.

- treis 6y agoYou usually can get a credit for la large water usage that doesn't go in the drain. Most commonly done for filling swimming pools.
- lostapathy 6y agoHere your max sewer bill is set based on the average water use of 3 winter months. If you go over that in the summer, we assume it’s mostly landing in the yard and not the sewer.
- LanceH 6y agoOur sewage bill is determined by the lowest two months of water usage from Dec-Feb plus a base cost.
- bluedino 6y agoThey’re separate in a lot of places
- MertsA 6y agoNot directly but the reason why you pay such a high water usage rate is because it's indirectly metering sewage usage. That's why you can arrange for bulk water delivery via fire hydrants for a cheaper usage rate for e.g. filling up a pool.
