Things like push notifications, apps in the background that require an internet connection refreshing constantly, and using apps that require internet connection :)p) will all go toward your data usage. I highly doubt that AT&T is 'sticking' it to you and that you simply just lost track of your usage.

I'm NOT upgrading.
Than the issue is your own fault
I too started with the unlimited plan, but downgraded because I was rarely using 150mb, but as soon as I scaled back along came the increasing in data used.

I'm guessing that move pissed AT&T off and now they're sticking it to me.

Be forewarned.

Nope, pretty sure they're sticking it me. At least when the throttling-backs begins this fall, I'll be use to AT&T d!@king me over.

I doubt AT&T cares about one customer changing their dataplan.

AT&T has a "known issue" as they called it. It's a billing issue and they will credit you back the overage. It took me five customer service reps and two stores, but I found someone who had seen it recently. Mine started this billing period. Four days into my billing cycle I used three times my typical monthly usage. They acknowledged the problem and said they are trying to fix it. Until they do just ask for a credit on the overage and they will issue it.
