My cell data download speed has been throttled again. This time my usage was at 2300 MB.
What will the cap be next month, 200 MB?

my question is why do you guys need to use so much data.. I have an unlimited plan and have never went over 2gb at all during an entire month.. quit using so much data and you wont be throttled..
I've never went over 2gb either. I can understand even up to 3 or maybe 4 with streaming, but people doing 10 or 20gb's a month. Thats more then I use on my home computer some months.

I use mine to tether my iPad during the day at work during breaks, watch a bit of a movie, but rarely go over 2GBs a month and have never had my speed throttled.

To be honest, I don't use Pandora very often, since I usually use the FM radio, but occasionally I don't have one. At any rate, a little Pandora in the middle of the night is hardly going to bring the network to its knees. I do try to download on wifi as much as possible, but that's sometimes hard to do when I'm on the road for long periods of time. It's not one particular thing that uses up all the data, but using the iPhone for lots of different little things over long periods when I don't have another computer or wifi. I use more data with Google Map than Pandora. Kinda hard to sync that at home.
What AT&T can do and what they will do are two different things. They have no reason to single me out over millions of other high use customers (%5 of 100 million) who are not breaking any rules. The facts are that they have not been cancelling accounts. What they have been doing, just recently, is throttling them. They have no incentive to cancel me one month into a 2-year contract, after they just subsidized a new iPhone. I may use more data, but I also pay more for it. I pay twice as much for data as my wife does. Why would they stop taking my money, when they could just slow me down?
My only intention here is to report to the world what is happening. AT&T has started throttling unlimited accounts after using 2 GB of data. It's not about me, but about the millions of customers who still have unlimited accounts. Nobody else is reporting on that here.
I never understood how someone can take 'unlimited' to mean it's perfectly OK to hook the phone to a computer and use it like a home internet connection replacing cable or DSL... smh...I never understood why some people think if you take from one person, it will make others happy
