AT&T customers surprised by 'unlimited data' limit

30. AT&T's Unlimited Frustration Plans

First they dropped the unlimited wireless data plan offerings.
The they capped their DSL Users to 200 GB / month, with incremental overages of +$10/50GB.
Then they even capped their U-Verse users to 250GB / month with the same incremental overages.
- both as a way to steer their customers away from Netflix.
Then they faked the customer bandwidth utilization values on their "bandwidth usage meter" page and over charged customers.
Now they are throttling wireless users data plans.
What's next?

All of these moves are blamed on over utilization of their backbones capacity. What this tells me is that they are not upgrading their infrastructure to meet demand. The funny part of this is if the user in the article used all this bandwidth in short spirts of activity... that does not have any effect bandwidth of the other 700 hours in a month. This is a ploy by AT&T to get rid of all the grandfathered-in unlimited data plans. period. the end. If it wasn't they would utilize a peak/off-peak hour data plan... don't hold your breath on that.

AT&T is nothing but another group of corporate thieves. I dropped all of my services with them over this past year and I am never looking back.
