Once I found out they were doing this I immediately cancelled my unlimited data plan.
It's basically a scam and NOT what most people want.
The essentially offer 1GB for $10 ... so 5GB is $50, 6GB is $60...
Flat seems fair to me and keeps both parties honest.
I just wish they were honest about 'unlimited'.
The problem is the surprise bill when they charge you exponentially for going over their commited rate.
- mikeash 12y agoI imagine they were quite happy when you cancelled your plan. I don't think they want to provide it, but either are somehow obligated to continue providing it for those who have it already due to something in the contract, or think it would be bad PR to just outright cancel it. I'd wager that the throttling is less about network health and more about convincing people to switch away from a plan AT&T doesn't want to have anymore.
