I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it's only the top 5% users, obviously the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
On the other hand, they haven't mentioned any specifics at what usage they'll begin throttling. For example, my data plan is an unlimited plan (with a 5gb cap). Hypothetically, it seems possible for the top 5% users to be using less than 5gb (especially if AT&T is to be any insight), meaning it seems possible for my data to be throttled while I am still following my contract. I think that is the part that seems unfair/worrisome. Additionally, with 4g networks being rolled out, it seems I'm getting messages of 'use our data, it's so fast' and 'but not too much else we'll throttle you.'
