They already did (early July). This is AT&T's response.

As most everyone in the thread glares over in your general direction. lolAnd here I am, sitting over here with my 24GB data plan on Verizon for $64/mo plus line access charges, wondering how I got so lucky.
This actually ends up being more expensive in many common scenarios, because the device access fee is now higher. This easily wipes away any savings.
For example:
Old 15GB plan, 4 lines shared: $100 + 4 x $15 = $160/monthDropping cost of data, but raising line access fees, sneaky weasels.
New 16GB plan, 4 lines shared: $90 + 4 x $20 = $170/month
no you pay 5 more per line. there is no savings with most tier plans. I hate AT&T and I hate them. ugh if only T-mobile had better coverage.I'm sure some people who don't use much data will get hosed by this, but as someone on the 15GB family share plan, this works our wonderfully for me. I'll get 1GB more for $10 less. AND no risk of overage if I approach my data cap? I'm thrilled.

Am I the only one that thinks 1GB for $30 is ridiculous?
I'll stick with my grandfathered unlimited data plan.
Probably not. AT&T hasn't forced people onto new plans, like Verizon has. They still let us have the old grandfathered unlimited plans.BTW: does this also affect 2 year plan people as well? After 2 years they would have to jump to this, right?
Unlimited at T-Mobile for $50
T-Mobile could just up their rates and use that new revenue to speed up their network expansion (that's been ongoing for the last decade+), right?no you pay 5 more per line. there is no savings with most tier plans. I hate AT&T and I hate them. ugh if only T-mobile had better coverage.
What is the point of those overseas posting what they are charged, when the article is specifically detailing the cost per a U.S. carrier? Regardless of what amount you pay overseas, said amount (from a different carrier) has no bearing on the current offering of AT &T.
Edited to add: Will this new offering be enough to draw new subscribers and keep many of those already customers loyal? It doesn't look like a significant offering to me. Looks more like a smoke and mirrors offering.
I'll stick to the grandfathered AT&T plan instead, but thanks!![]()
