AT&T accused of inaccurate metered data usage billing

http://j.mp/i67Yud  (DSL Reports)

     "We've asked AT&T for confirmation and comment. While many ISPs say
      they want to be able to bill like a utility, you'd be hard pressed to
      find any that want to be regulated like one. In particular, no ISP
      wants government regulators confirming their meters are accurate, and
      no regulators in North America have the courage to demand it, leaving
      consumers alone to fend for themselves and try and keep their carriers
      honest. We'll note that AT&T is already facing a lawsuit for allegedly
      artificially inflating data usage and over billing wireless users."
