Strong-arming AT&T into offering me unlimited iPad data...

Judging by the OP's silence, I'm guessing that neither strong-arming nor his connections worked.

Big surpirse there. :D

There's no incentive for ATT to be "strong armed" into giving unlimited bandwidth especially since the industry is moving in the opposite direction - metered bandwidth. No matter how much you threaten ATT they'll not bend.
 
I've been an AT&T cust. since 2005 and got my unlimited data pkg with my iphone in Feb 2009 but as I got my ipad2, I called and tried to get unlimited data for the ipad but really couldn't do anything but ask for them to do that for me since I've been a customer for so long. Well umm, yea, I'll continue to JB and use TetherMe and MyWi.
 
Well I hope he didn't go crazy and scream at some guy from India just doing his job.
 
I asked about this too. I've been a loyal customer since 2008 with AT&T. When I got my iPad 2 at BB they decliined to set up the 3G service so instead I did it at home. I had no idea I could add it onto my current bill with AT&T. Now that I do, I wanted to. When I called they explained I now needed a new SIM, head over to the store.. blah, blah. I figured since they were causing an incovince by sending me to the store, I would ask about unlimited data (we have 2 iphones that have it). They couldnt offer it, but did give me a monthly credit of $20 for the next 6 months. I'll take it. It didn't hurt to ask, even though I knew they would say no, I asked and a credit is more then acceptable to me!

Yeah, good luck with that. Hopefully you're 'strong arm' argument is more compelling than the 'I want this, I don't want that and I know a big wig' you shared here...which sounds more like the immature argument of a child not getting their way than a reason why AT&T should treat you differently than they've treated their other customers.

But hey, everybody feels like they should be the exception. Maybe it'll work out for you....
