If you're on unlimited data w/ AT&T

And you get a text saying that you have reached 16 gigs,you better check your data app. They sent me a text saying that I was at 16 and really I was only at 12.
They have resorted to lying now about your data usage to get people to use wifi to avoid being throttled at 22 gigs.

How do you use 16Gb of data a month? Streaming movies when not on wifi?

Yeah. It's dumb.
You get unlimited only by having it and being grandfathered in...then they scare you about using too much of their network.
And every time you walk into the store and they look at your plan they want to offer alternatives that are better for how much data you use.

I'm hanging on to my unlimited plan as long as I can.
Wifi at my work sucks so I rarely use it and I like the freedom of not having to constantly look for wifi when I go places so I don't use up my data. And now that they don't throttle until 22gb? Yeah def worth keeping for the time being.

They kept giving a warning at 4 or 5 gigs saying they would throttle it in busy times. I never use that much. I sent them a text back that said lawsuit and yall still haven't learned.
Probably just a coincidence, but a few days later I get some text about giving me free nationwide roaming or some shite that I don't need. Pretty sure everyone with unlimited got the same text, but I wonder if someone actually got that text back or if just a cpu just deletes it.

What app tracks data usage?

I received that same msg a few months ago so I looked through my sons account. AT&T had my son using some of his data when he would be connected to wifi. I was told by their customer service that the phone picks up the strongest signal even conneted to wifi. They then proceed to tell me that I had to go into settings and turn off cellular data so this wouldn't happen again. It hasn't happened again and it does get a little aggravating to remember to turn cellular data back on when you leave wifi connection.

I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data. I think they must throttle you sooner than 12-16GB. They start sending me throttling text at 4GB. WTF?? Doesn't matter to me, I continue to keep it on cellular only - even if I want to stream something to help me sleep better at night - which I do every night. I never check my data and really never go to WiFi

Thanks for posting this. I have an unlimited plan too and AT&T has been throttling me for years at 5 GB. I was very close to switching to a regular data plan a couple of times because I was effectively operating with a 5 GB per month plan (I have been throttled many times and the speeds were painfully slow). I guess AT&T quietly increased their throttling cap to 22 GB recently. Small win for the consumer in the wake of their $100 million fine from the FCC.
