Since 7/7/11 I've received 1.3 gb of data and I was wondering if anybody knew when the cap was going to start. And if any of you think I'll go over it. A little over a week and 1 gb seems like a lot but idk. Anybody else use more and not worried about it?

[Garz]

are you on umlimited? If so, you dont need to worry since you are grandfathered unless you make changes to your data

[Micah22]

Oh well I guess I am grandfathered in. Thank you.

mmhmmm, the freedom of unlimited...

That's the one thing I really miss and reason why I regret switching to Sprint and then back to AT&T, is I lost my unlimited data.

Those of you on unlimited better not get used to it...word is as soon as this last batch of 2 year contracts ends that provided the unlimited data service, EVERY person will be moved to a limited data usage plan...because AT&T is under no obligation to provide unlimited data plans to people who are not under contract to receive such.

Not true at all. The only thing AT&T has planned for unlimited data plan customers is that our data will be throttled each month when we reach the 2.5 - 4GB limit that they plan on setting starting in October. Which is more than OK with me as I use a lot less than 2GB each month anyway. This will mostly be a problem for those who abuse the unlimited data plan by tethering hundreds of GB each month simply because they think AT&T owes it to them.

Does throttling really help the situation, though? Or will we just accept that things take longer?

IMHO, yes, it does help. As it will help make the network less congested and maintain the speed for those of us who don't abuse the system.

Yeah, I have to disagree with this. I can renew my contract right now and transfer over my existing unlimited plan.

And regards to throttling. I don't think it is that big of a deal honestly. I use 8-10 gig a month and think I will be fine. People who use a tremendous amount of data might be hit but those are people who tethering a lot of prime targets I believe. For the record I never tether.
