Re: Sweet! said by Z80A:Unless you are one of 14M AT&T iPhone users (and even more other smartphone plan users) not subject to caps. For now.
I have no qualms about mocking AT&T's new capped data plans. They make what are otherwise great phones into useless bricks. I will gladly and cheerfully take every opportunity to trash these plans. If it makes a casual reader think twice about signing up for such a plan, then so much the better.

Mount Airy, MD | said by Z80A:True, you have no qualms about misrepresenting the facts. If you are a new customer, you can no longer get an unlimited data plan from AT&T. You are stuck with one of those useless capped data plans. Your only choice is to either grin and bear it or do without.
There is nothing wrong with pointing out these facts so that people who otherwise may not be aware of them are in the know.

So yeah, you misrepresent the facts. |

Baton Rouge, LA | Actually, the truth is that even though they called that plan "Unlimited" it wasn't really as it was capped at 5GB.
So, in actuality, At&t has never had unlimited data. |

| On the Iphone the plans were truly uncapped, the rest of the plans where capped at 5GB, I myself am almost always on wifi and I've dropped down to the 200mb plan without an issue, and saving $15 a month, even when i was heavily streaming video I never went over 1 gb, while I agree the $20 tethering charge is ridiculous the reality is that a 2GB plan is more than enough for the vast majority of people and will be for quite awhile, most people aren't glued to their smartphones 24/7 and calling a capped plan useless is a gross exaggeration |

iPhone plans weren't capped. Other plans like LaptopConnect were capped but they were not advertised as Unlimited.
And for those millions who were on unlimited plans, they still aren't capped. |
