My own kneejerk reaction is to fear a $/MB system, but that's only because I trust AT&T about as far as I can throw them, and it would be reasonable to predict extortionate pricing for whatever plan they come up with. (Side note: why does it have to be that you never hear someone say, "I love my cable/phone/internet company, you should sign up with them."?)
If the bandwidth market resembled those of pretty much everything else we buy, most of us paying the requisite $30/month for unlimited data on the iPhone would save money under a $/MB plan.

I've heard that about TekSavvy DSL in Canada, but they are reliant on Bell which controls the last-mile copper and started throttling even 3rd-party providers 1.5+ years ago. I never got to try them because I moved away around the time that I was considering moving over.
- stewiecat 17y agoI'm like that with Verizon. I had their wireless service for years before I switched to ATT for the iPhone. I have their FiOS service now and LOVE it. Of course, I've never had to deal with customer service, so YMMV.
- nzmsv 17y agoTekSavvy is amazing. Set-up is fast, they deal with Bell's screwups when they happen (this is a when, not an if), and when you call them, a person answers, with no music-on-hold. They will also set up a workaround for Bell's throttling if you ask them (it involves a fake multilink PPP login, without the second line).
