Oh for crying out loud SHUT UP! This is a GOOD THING! Is it as much of a discount as they should be offering? I don't know, but it's a huge step in the right direction.
Reacting negatively to this only hurts you as a consumer.

No you shut up - if it works for your simpleton life good for you, I left AT&T a looonng time ago.

I didn't say there aren't better options, I didn't say it isn't still overcharging (instead I said the exact opposite).
I said it is a big step towards better things.
AT&T Cust Service called me back today and apologized and switched me to the new plan.
I think the bottom line here is...if you really want to save money.
if you have an grandfather plan...ride it as long as possible, because any current plans will not come any close in saving you money of you switch.
and for anything else.....is to treat your phone like its your baby so it can last as long as possible(weather if u got it on contract or non-contract, doesn't matter how it costs). the only real way to save money is to use a phone till it stops running on you (as long as it serves your needs)
but I know in reality different people have different needs. but I can assume 60% of us don't really have special needs. so don't go treating your phone like its a shoe. treat your phone like how to you treat a laptop (o wait, phones now adays cost as much as a laptop).
I don't know, that's my opinion.

Maybe. If you use a lot of data.
I have two grandfathered plans - one for my iPad and one for my iPhone. These new plans will save me money. I almost never take the iPad out of the house. And I can probably live with a 1GB plan, and if not certainly 2GB.
And I think it's still possible to sell a grandfathered iPad plan.
Missed this reply - I know it's virtually worthless, but I have a chat transcript from a few days ago where I followed up on this and based on my order/purchase date they said I was still qualified to trade in my tablet in a year, regardless of whether I switch to value plans. Maybe I beat the cut-off. Maybe they are full of crap.
Edit: confirmed again I supposedly can upgrade in 12 months when I upped my data plan today.
