AT&T Wages Quiet War on Grandfathered Unlimited Users

So at least for you, is it fair to say that regardless of the technical description of what AT&T does, throttling==service interruption?

for now. Sprint is going down hill rather quickly. Especially with all that $$$ going to Apple. No room to expand really, network upgrades will be where they are most needed for ROI and caps and overages will be coming.

And throttling is still UNLIMITED they are NOT stopping or billing in overages.

I have no sympathy to those fools who continue to pay for throttled services. Sprint may not be the fastest but at least it's truly unlimited.

So logically, if everyone went to the 3 gig plan, and all used 3 gigs exactly, would thereby overly tax ATTs network which cant purportedly handle even 2 gigs per person o_O;;

Exactly, get everybody off the unlimited plans so we can make more money. The greatest thing in history. I know that if I can get the top 5% off there unlimited plans I can sock them with overages, overages, and overages. My wallet get bigger, my investors have a big on there faces, and my costomers can just get screwed.

Sarcasm, but true of course.

Most stockholders of a company do not get any benefit from being profitable or more profitable as stock price is not tied to actual company profits. The stock price is set by traders on the stock market. The company profits can go down and their stock price can go up at the same time.

The only shareholders who can benefit from more profits are those that get issued a dividend because profits are up.

Current and future profitability have a lot to do with stock price. A vast majority of the time a company's stock price is largely driven on how much money people think it will make. This is an oversimplification, but generally, if you increase profits and are moving on a path that will generate even more profits, your stock price will go up.

A dividend, however, has nothing to do with a profits other than a company that pays them is generally profitable in order to afford it. For instance, Apple makes money hand over fist and doesn't pay a dividend.

Do you work for them? What a load. Four times a week Karl posts a piece here about the myth of limited capacity and how it's total bullshit. They simply want to gouge people. Throttle service, locked phones, terrible plans.

They need to make it more transparent, but this is necessary, given that they only have a certain amount of capacity on their air interface. Not getting T-Mo didn't help either.

That grandfathered unlimited plan was all that was keeping me on AT&T's service, so it seems it's finally time to part ways.
