How do you use that much when almost everywhere has accessible wifi?



I use about 7-9 gigs a month, but I stream CPA lessons and Netflix almost constantly.

Yep, waiting to watch porn until I got home instead of on the drive to the house helped out a lot.

Got that when I passed 3GB this month. Currently at about 10GB and they havent throttled. About 18days left in my billing cycle so I'm sure I'll eventually be throttled.

If you watch more than three movies on netflix you should be well over this amount.

I used 12 gigs on my Iphone and 18 on my work windows phone. Both at&t. Iphone slowed down, work phone didn't. I don't have internet so I use my work phone as a wifi spot at home for work.

They want to get rid of all grandfathered data plans. This is how they will go after them.


I honestly thought they did a long time ago.

I changed my grandfathered unlimited plan, too. I don't really care because I'm usually always on WiFi wherever I am except my car. It made sense for me.

They've been sending these messages for a while now. I'm just glad my office got a "guest" wi-fi network which I can connect to at work.

Have they always done this or is this something new?

I still have the unlimited data plan with the iPhone.




This has been around for 3 years now..

Here is a better explaination on their website:

I wonder why I've never gotten throttled and on one month I used 10gb of data. Never even gotten the text warning, and I'm always over 3gb.

Looks like someone is going to have to deal with not being able to watch movies on demand.
