AT&T will not stop throttling. The only reason Verizon did is because the C-Block spectrum they got specifically states that you can't throttle users.
The full throttle will come back, eventually. Verizon's network can't handle the load.
I'm hoping AT&T has a "me too" moment like every other carrier.
If AT&T was ever susceptible to such a massive migration, that could have happened anytime earlier. T-Mobile and Sprint are offering unlimited plans as we speak. No migration has happened. AT&T has no reason to change course.

A big difference is that most people don't perceive T-Mobile and Sprint as viable carriers (which Sprint isn't, and up until recently, neither was T-Mobile). People still think that Verizon is the #1 US carrier like they were a few years ago (it has dropped to #3, AT&T and T-Mobile now outperform them), so people don't seriously consider switching to T-Mobile or Sprint.
Anyways, just another win for customers in the US. How does unlimited LTE with Verizon compare to fiber optic with Verizon? Is it viable and cost effective to use cellular instead of fiber optic yet?
As a grandfathered unlimited user on ATT I am very confused why Verizon got so much grief for threatening to throttle while ATT has been doing it for years and no one complains? Or at least the complaints weren't as loud so they weren't forced to reverse course?

Please PLEASE AT&T! Follow Verizon's lead! I'm sick of being throttled one week into my cycle and having to put up with EDGE speeds for the rest of the month.
They reverse their decision...clearly that's bad, right?Verizon is a greedy bloodsucker
They were forced to tho.They reverse their decision...clearly that's bad, right?
Doesn't seem like we know that that's what happened.They were forced to tho.
Can I go back to my old unlimited data plan? I lost the grandfathered plan when I got a new 2yr contract...
And, since this is a thread about unlimited data, I pay about $205 for 3 lines of UL data, with tethering for the SIM in my iPad. Your deal is decent. I like mine better.there is a promotion you need to be aware that Verizon is offering right now:
- For every line you have out of contract you save $10/month if you have a 6GB data plan or less.
- For every line you have out of contract you save $25/month if you have a 10GB data plan.
I was paying $210.00/month for 6GB + 3 iPhones.
Now, I'm paying $175.00/month for 10GB + 3 iPhones (one of which is a new iphone 6 plus I ordered under 2 year contract that hasn't arrived yet).
To make things even better Verizon added another 5GB to my data plan as a customer loyalty promotion.
Before: $210.00/month for 6GB Data + 3 iPhones (tax included)
Now: $175.00/month for 15GB Data + 3 iPhones (tax included)
I literally saved $35/month and got 3 times the amount of data.
