So basically what is going on is that AT&T is saying that even though you pay more for unlimited data, you better watch your data usage or they are going to cap you at the lower data limit? That's BS!

Yeah I've been throttled for almost 2 months now. Its supposed to end every billing cycle but **** it hasn't. I'm at .5mbs and. 2mbs up its ducking stupid. I can't access firedispatch when my pager doesn't keep the address. And omfg I complain and ***** once a week at least. They guys keep telling me. Go sprint we did that cause Att is bull****. Only thing. I don't get.much coverage with sprint in my area.

Lol, just checked past usage on their site 2.9/2.1/2.7 gb for the last three months and have used 1.7 gb half way through my current bill cycle. I guess I'll do more iclubing from my phone.

Edit: after looking at their little graph my data usage jumped from an average of about1.1 gb per month to 2.2+ since I have bought a 4s and I really don't feel like I do that much more data usage than before.

hahhah! I would do the SAME exact thing.


Someone should start a website that encourages the grandfathered unlimited plan people to excessively use their data plans, then send the said website to the ATT legal dept and tell them that their threats backfired. lol
