| famousringo said: I'm not impacted by this because I'm in Canada, but personally I would find the change favourable. In a year of ownership, I've used less than 3 GB of data, and Rogers actually lets us tether up here. The big limit on how much I enjoy my phone is battery, not bandwidth, and it's a problem that I'm not sure is going to get better as hardware manufacturers keep competing with beefier processors, larger displays, and 4G radios (see reviews of EVO 4G). The part of this new scheme that's bunk is the 200MB plan charging $15 for another 200MB. Go over your limit and you're paying more than a 2 GB plan for 20% of the bandwidth, and God help you if you need more than 400 MB. |
Uh I used over 800 meg this past month (mlb.tv FTW) so, God help me? Not everyone fits into the same usage model you (or I do) and I don't think that these 2 tiers of service AT&T is proposing will fit over 90% of all users.
I don't mind paying for bandwidth, that makes sense to me. I mind low caps. If I need lots of bandwidth, I should have an option to pay for that if I want to. I should be able to chose a plan that fits me from a large number of plans.
