The sad news, AT&T may limit your data by throttling (which means they will slow down your network speed even more slower) so that will affect VRS experience, wouldn’t it?

If you have unlimited plans and use unlimited amounts of data, but may experience reduced speeds at some point if they are an extraordinarily heavy data user. If speed is more important, they may wish to switch to a tiered usage plan, where customers can pay for more data if they need it and will not see reduced speeds.

An Update for Our Smartphone Customers With Unlimited Data Plans

:( Horrible! F....k AT&T. I will swap other carrier like Sprint if they offer iPhone when purchase next gen iPhone next year.
 
Ouch, that's gotta suck for those iPhone users! :(

I wonder what that will mean for those T-Mobile users using unlimited data.
 
I'm really don't care about this situation because I'm on tiered data plan.

I'm very upset that att phone won't work in DC subway so I heard about only VZW phone will works.
 
Wirelessly posted (sent from a smartphone. )

No reason to get upset about that. It doesn't say anything about how many gb over usage on when they throttle down the speeds. The highest is about 1.3 or so gb in a month in my records. I am assuming if they reach 2 gb, it would throttle down. Have some faith, people. Tmobile already have throttle down before at&t did.
 
This is why I don't go for the big shot phone companies. I'm happy with my unlimited everything at Metro PCS for a flat rate :)

Then again, if I was a frequent traveler I may try out the bigger companies.
