I can't be bothered reading through every comment to see if anyone already said all of this, but unless you're downtown in a major city, throttling shouldn't ever really be a problem. My parents just switched to the new unlimited plan from the old one less than two months ago, so I got an iPad with unlimited data and last month I used 22GB halfway through the monthly cycle. I was never throttled after that AFAIK. Remember, you aren't throttled after 22GB. There's just the potential for you to be throttled sometimes when the network is congested.

Also, you said you were going to get the 15GB plan, which costs $100 plus $15 for each phone. If you were switching to this plan yourself, the unlimited plan is $15/month cheaper. If you add any more lines, the 15GB plan becomes cheaper, but all you're doing is stretching that 15GB among more people. Every line you add to unlimited gets at least 22GB before ever being throttled, so two people on unlimited would be like having 44GB to share, three people on unlimited would be like having 66GB to share, etc. except even better because you don't get charged more after you use that much and chances are you won't be throttled anyway.
 
I think you're confusing the auto merge of your replies here. You said ATT was losing customers and I asked for a source. That's all I'm referring to.

I posted that the churn rate was increasing and likely would continue to do so. That means existing customers are leaving in larger numbers.

Any other inference or confusion is on the reader.
 
This release of unlimited data plan customers lines ETF free just started a few weeks ago. Same exact time when Tmobile announced the $150 4 lines with unlimited everything deal.
A source of that data will be at the end of Q1 and Q2 most likely.
Time will show.
Thank you for actually responding and not just blowing smoke.

The unlimited iPad plan is not throttled, never has been. That's why they're worth so much money on eBay.

I'm still kicking myself for not getting a iPad with this plan when it came out. :eek:

I'm not talking about the old $30 iPad plan. I'm talking about the new unlimited plan AT&T offers with U-verse or DirecTV. If you get a tablet on that plan, prioritization kicks in after 22GB just like it does on phones and you may get throttled during moments of network congestion.
 
In my admittedly short time time on this forum I've noticed that you rarely miss an opportunity to bash AT&T or to question anyone's positive remarks about them. In those 18 years with them you must have had some very poor service. On behalf of those who've had AT&T as long as you did with the best service...I apologize.

I've had this same thought for a long time :) look in my post history and you'll see many conversations with this guy regarding unlimited data, next plans and the like.

Just posting my opinion and point of view boys.
If you don't like it I'm just going to hide and run away.
Not:D
People need to learn how to use the ignore button. If you've gotten under their skin for any notable length of time, I'm unsure why they wouldn't just block your posts. It obviously bothers them enough to comment. Sheesh.

Right? Someone with common sense finally. :)
We can't all agree on every topic and with everyone's opinion. If you really have to research my posts or get upset and cannot handle a discussion with someone that has a different view than yours then do yourself a favor and use the ignore button please
Trust me, I will not mind at all.:D

I find this funny.... Ignore button. Are people here 6? Can't have a little discourse in conversations?

People are still willing to pay a premium for the original iPad unlimited? I still have mine, maybe I'll have to check ebay to see what they are actually going for....but then maybe not:cool:
 
I got this, was wondering if anyone has tried tethering through jailbreak or something and if you can get away with it :S
