I got throttled today at 2.1 gigabytes. This sucks...
So I take you you would rather have 3gb and are going to switch to the new plan right?
So, doing the math, if the top 5% is 2.00 GB and as of recent, throttling seem to start at around 2.00 GB, or as they state 12 X more that the average user. That would mean 95% of people are using 0.17 GB
So if the lower 95% starts averaging 0.50 GB, that would push throttling up 6.00 GB.
I directly, these new plans will help raise the throttling ceiling limit we currently are experiencing.
FYI I got my notice at 5.20 GB last month.
So I say we should all try to raise our monthly usage so that the average increases. Screw you AT&T!
If every did AT&T would likely lower it from 2 down to 1.5.
You will not be teaching AT&T any lesson!![]()
Not doing anything is even worse.
At the least there should be a class action lawsuit to stop AT&T's unfair business practice.
Throttling was never mentioned when I signed up for unlimited plan and changing the terms of the original agreement is wrong.
Holy crap... You must live in a massive city![]()
Stop spreading misinformation. AT&T's unlimited data plans aren't capped or throttled at 2GB. They're throttled when you're in the TOP 5% of data users, NOT when you pass the 2GB barrier. I use 3-4GB of data per month and have never been throttled.

I just don't understand the people that come in here and say it's OK to let AT&T change the terms because it was in the contract and that we agreed to it.
Just about every contract has that verbage to protect the company that wrote the contract. It is something that us consumers can't change.
Just because it's there does not give them the right to piss on the user at any time.
How far will you let these corporations push you?
It does not say only that they can change the terms, it says that if they change the terms the customer can get out with no penalty.
I'm still trying to figure out if I should switch to the new 3gb plan, seems useless to keep the 'unlimited' anymore when you get throttled at 2gb for the same price that you can get 3gb throttle free...
I switched from my unlimited to the 3GB plan! And honestly, it works for me, as I have never ever really been over 3GB more than twice. It's the same price, I get top speeds in my home area(s) and frankly 3GB is a lot on the phone. I mostly stream music, if i do video it's over wifi, way faster! But the 3GB plan is perfect for me. I will enjoy it and probably never go over, i'd say out of my 4 years with an iPhone i probably average 1gb/month. This seems perfect!
I am sure others will do this too!
