Capping data is just a big ripoff
I bought a Ipad 32gb with 4g, OK so I went to the apple store to use their WiFi and to ask some questions while I'm downloading my music and apps.Went home and starting playing with it then all of a sudden I get a message from At&T telling me that I only got 2% left on my recently purchased 3gb data plan, How recent? like 3 hours recent. They told me that I'd have to purchase more data there data rate plans start at $14.99 for 250, $30 for 3gb and $50.00 for a 5gb. I don't know how much data I use because I'm not used to keeping up with my data usage because I have Sprint's great unlimited data plan for my Iphone.
I started thinking if I purchase more data then I'll be spending more money then I originally intended and if this is going to be and on going thing where I have to constantly purchase more data because I'm almost certain that I will always go over then I'll basically have a second phone bill.What a ripoff how can I possibly enjoy my tablet if I'm constantly worrying about my data usage.Apple already got their money out of me when I decided I didn't want to be WiFi bond and it would be in my best interest to cough up the extra 100 bucks , but now it seem as if the cell phone carriers or at least At&t are trying to cash in on data usage by over pricing for such a little about of data.

Hmmmm, quite possible. I was downloading 2 or 3 videos from the bbc iPlayer 2 days ago on wi-fi. Took the iPad into a room where the wi-fi is weak, especially if I close a couple of doors. I realized later that the downloads had taken 900 Mb from my allowance in no time.
Sounds like you and I have the same problem I went to the apple store to use their WiFi and I still went over. It just sounds like a scheme to me.

I'm not blaming AT&T but I'm saying there;s no way I used 3gb of data in 3 days. All I did is check my email download a couple of apps watch a few videos I had an Ipad 2 and never went over 1GB in a whole month doing way more. I will contact AT&T I was just wondering if anybody had this issue or just me.
I went over in 1 day with 3gb of data and didn't even watch any videos. i had just bought it but after reading some of the post i guess even when your on WiFi the still charge you data.
