AT&T Unlimited Data $ Increase

Well, Verizon did it a couple of months ago; now it is AT&T's turn. Less $ than Verizon at a $5.00 per month increase, however AT&T still slows you down if you go over 22GB per month and no "official" tethering. I can't complain - at the new price of $35.00 for 22GB, still far less expensive than my 20GB jetpack package at Verizon..
  • They have many different plans, so it is hard to tell. In my case I signed up for unlimited data with my first iPhone & it was $30.00 per month added to the lowest phone plan ($45.00 per month). I get a discount as a Red Cross Volunteer, so I am paying around $68.00 for voice & data (no texting).

    Overall it is a good deal, however as I mentioned in the first post, if you go over 22GB in a month they slow you down to dial up speeds, and if you want to tether, you must drop the unlimited data & change to one of their limited plans.

    Since I use a Verizon hotspot for most of my computer data ($100.00 per month for 20GB - moved from the Millenicom service when Verizon killed it) the AT&T service on the iPhone is mostly used for internet radio & Pandora. I generally use around 8GB - 10GB per month.
  • Am I the only one being overcharged for data?! I pay $35 for 3GB then an additional $15/GB once the data is used! I've had many problems with AT&T so far and I can't believed I signed a contract with them! I've only been with them since April of this year and I've already almost-canceled 3 times! Their customer service is terrible.

    But back to the main question, am I getting overcharged!?

    I hate to say this as I will probably jinx myself but I have not seen the VERIZON INCREASE yet. I have grandfathered unlimited DATA on my older DROID phone plan. I was expecting to see a 40 dollar monthly rate increase since two of my DROIDS here are using the unlimited data plans...

    So far my monthly charge is staying the same as it has been for the past several years...
