AT&T Starts Throttling Unlimited Data Users after 2GB of Monthly Usage
in october, at&t announced start throttling data usage amongst mobile unlimited data plan users. while at&t no longer offers unlimited data plan new customers, many of original iphone purchasers still grandfathered plan. iphone users have been able retain these unlimited plans, though at&t has since moved tiered data plan structure.
when at&t announced plan start throttling users, company said throttling top 5% of users. early reports of affected users had pointed 10gb-12gb per month users affected.
seems ceiling has decreased on past few months, @ least regions. john cozen reports received top 5% data usage warning after reaching 2.1gb of data january.
cozen contacted at&t make sure wasn't mistake, , after several , forth exchanges, seems clear wasn't mistake. at&t representatives seemed confirm 2.1gb did fall in 5% range , option avoid throttling move tiered plan.
cozen understandably upset since at&t offers unthrottled 3gb plan same price paying @ $30 month.
at&t's top 5% measurement seems region-specific, users continuing see higher 2gb usage without throttling.
so because 1 person gets throttled after 2gb assume after 2? doesn't make sense. i, , many others know use way on 7gb month , we've never been throttled.
