Carrier Will AT&T Throttle Me iPhone 6S+

I feel like there should be some kind of limit to avoid people who live on bandwidth to the point it degrades the system. No hard to find WiFi these days, some need to look harder!

Misconception. It's purely a money making proposition for them. Has nothing to do with management of systems.

What will happen is that after the 22GB limit is reached they will throttle your speed only if you're connected to a congested tower. I clearly remember reading this in an article posted either here or Engadget.

But at least Verizon has stated that they will not throttle unlimited data users.

Verizon cannot throttle band 13 devices (basically every Verizon LTE device ever sold) per FCC agreement.

Don't think Verizon is being nice. They for all this Air spectrum because of the agreement not to mess with band 13.

U run full speed after 22gb unless u are in congested tower and once tower is not congested or u move out of congested area u are back to full speed.

We seen people on macrumors back in March/April brag and run tests. And a few of them it 100gb plus streaming video all day an night just for kicks

Yes, because the FCC prevents them from doing so. Instead, they'll charge you more for unlimited.

Well it's nice for me. Because I use suitcases loads of data and never experience slow down

Isn't that exactly what I said with the exception of the last paragraph.

...my media consumption comes from my use of Spotify and video streaming.

Of course it does with probably 95 % coming from video streaming.
