just so you know.. this "regulation" from the FCC is the same regulation which ATT submitted TO the FCC. It was born within the walls of ATT originally to preserve spectrum in accordance with other FCC regulations. It just turned into a bandwidth discussion on ATT's side so they can charge you more. Confused yet?

Taken from another site. I'm not buying it. Unlimited should be unlimited.
[AT&T spokesman Mark] Siegel said that even if you do exceed 2 gigabytes of data usage and qualify as one of the top 5 percent, that doesn’t absolutely mean you’re going to be throttled. AT&T will only reduce speeds for the top 5 percent of users in areas where network capacity or spectrum is insufficient, he said. In other words, throttling is done on a case-by-case basis, not based on a hard number, according to AT&T’s claims.
“There’s a very good chance you wouldn’t be slowed,” Mr. Siegel said. He added that in the last month, less than 1 percent of AT&T smartphone customers were affected by the policy.
