Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
AT&T has announced that they're getting rid of their unlimited data plan, and replacing it with a 2GB capped plan
ACK! NO!
[eta: Looks like it may be for new customers only, though -
Current smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans]
What do they mean by tethering?
Using your phone as a laptop modem.
So your options are buy a phone quick, get the unlimited plan, and feel screwed when the shiny new phone comes out on Monday or b, wait for the new phone and get screwed on the plan. Awesome marketing strategy.
Or, wait, C, sit back and wait for the Verizon phone. Well, my decision making just got a lot easier anyway.
I kind of can't believe they're only just introducing tethering.
Verizon has a 2GB cap too. Just ask Liese.
Nuts. But at least they're not sticking it to you so obviously.
AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint? That's my dilemma. I can get a good smartphone from any of them.
Or are they all equally evil? I was tending toward Verizon simply because they're right down the street from me.
I've had all three, and vastly preferred Verizon. Of course, the service in your area is key. I would talk to friends in town.
I have Verizon and have never had a problem.
