I'm grandfathered in to the AT&T unlimited plan... So why

They will throttle you. I only notice around 5 gigs though.

That's criminal if I'm supposed to have unlimited data. Must've been some small writing I didn't read.

In fairness, they never guaranteed how fast you would get your data.

And yes, on an LTE phone you get throttled after 5GB, 4G phones only get 3GB before getting throttled.

I'm grandfathered into the Tech board, so why in the frick is it that people can't look into one of the other several throttling threads on the first page.

If I am not mistaken,I believe someone has sued ATT over this and lost.

That article is from 2 yrs ago. Last year they sent out notices saying that they would start throttling. That is their new loophole to now throttle. It sucks but nothing you can do.

Me and my wife both have unlimited plans.

They give you notice of a change and you continue to use their service, you agree to the new terms.

They started throttling my shite and then they started telling me I was going over my monthly minutes when I hardly talked on the phone. Shady bastards.

Just this week, the FCC began questioning Verizon about this practice.


"I know of no past Commission statement that would treat as 'reasonable network management' a decision to slow traffic to a user who has paid, after all, for 'unlimited' service,"
- FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler


"Wheeler asked Verizon to respond to the following three questions:

1. What is your rationale for treating customers differently based on the type of data plan to which they subscribe, rather than network architecture or technological factors? In particular, please explain your statement that, "If you're on an unlimited data plan and are concerned that you are in the top 5% of data users, you can switch to a usage-based data plan as customers on usage-based plans are not impacted."

2. Why is Verizon Wireless extending speed reductions from its 3G network to its much more efficient 4G LTE network?

3. How does Verizon Wireless justify this policy consistent with its continuing obligation under the 700 MHz C Block open platform rules, under which Verizon Wireless may not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of end users to download and utilize applications of their choosing on the C Block networks; how can this conduct be justified under the Commission's 2010 Open Internet rules, including the transparency rule that remains in effect?"
