No, this post neglects to mention that this only applies to those AT&T customers that still remain on the grandfathered unlimited data plans and are among the top 5% in terms of bandwidth usage. Those with "limited" plans that pay for overages are not affected by this.

Yeah, I kind of thought it wouldn't make sense to throttle those who already are pay-per-byte. AT&T would just be shooting itself in the foot in collecting data plan overages that way. However, I didn't see any specific descriptions to the throttled plans, so I didn't know if it was the unlimited customers or all customers.
