Monday, May 07, 2012 9:08:56 PM and thats why you buy a smart phone never carried by ATT and sign up for their 10 dollar media net plan. I'm using a D2G running gingerbread now, and before that was using a Galaxy 5. Loop holes ahoy! |

Monday, May 07, 2012 2:35:37 PM One little point this article fails to mention that makes this guy's whining even more pathetic - that $6.1bn in texting revenue was pure profit. Text messages piggyback on the cellular signal (which is why the message length is limited), so they don't cost the operators a single penny. Complaining about a drop in the huge amount of free money they get from their customers is truly pitiful. |

Monday, May 07, 2012 12:51:33 PM Well, I didn't get a smartphone until last year, and the sole reason I went with Verizon over AT+Twas that Verizon had an unlimited data plan (they've since gone to a tiered thing too). Sometimes it's not about how much money you can squeeze out of your customers but about attracting customers in the first place. |

Monday, May 07, 2012 9:45:51 AM Cheap ass? I have at&t and I don't have a smartphone. I have unlimited text with the least possible amount of minutes because I never talk on my phone. I'm still paying almost $80 a month. Randall Stephenson can I am a pretty little girl. |

Monday, May 07, 2012 9:41:18 AM What the hell...6.1 billion revenue on texting alone and this tw*t is crying that it's not enough? Oh please, tell me more how you are being ruined, a55hat. Sabotaging own services? Deliberately slowing down the download speed for using too much data? Isn't it unlimited? I'm pretty sure there is a nifty law suit lurking in there somewhere. |

Monday, May 07, 2012 8:58:35 AM Gerry1of1: Yep, when I was out of town, I got a call from an AT&T operator for using too much data in a location that didn't have sufficient range or something like that and if I don't stop, my connection would slow down. Just made me use it more. |

Monday, May 07, 2012 8:56:18 AM I actually have this plan--grandfathered in from years ago. AT&T's service is spotty at best, but knowing that this uptight jerk-off is upset that the unlimited plan is stuck will make me never get rid of it. |

AT&T slows down your download speed if you use too much data time. {link below} This is supposed to discourage you from using it so much. What kind of business sense does it make to deliberately make your product work poorly? USA Today news report |
