AT&T Data Fees Going UP: As Expected

[Rico ANDROID]

Its been announced that AT&T will officially increase data rates starting Sunday 1/22/2012
I am betting this is part of recooperating monies paid to Tmo for the failed deal.

Positives:
1. With the up to 33% rate hike (depending on your plan), there will be an increase in GB allotment.. example: 2GB will now be 3GB.

2. Still a better deal than Verizon (but for how long?)

3. Existing customers will not be effected with the rate hike going into effect 1/22/2012.


Note:
This string is about customers digesting recoop fees from the tmo failed deal. This string is "not" referring to day to day business practices and functions due to "inflaton" AT&T is NOT hurting. If you wish to take this discussion on a tangent, please start another topic.

Why the hell would anyone pay those BS fees, I don't know.

I love my $10 for unlimited plan with Sprint.

Aymen to that! My Golden bro.. SPRINT may very well become the New King Of The Hill if they hold on to the unlimited data plan as a bargaining chip.

Because some of us would rather pay for usable data instead of having unlimited data thats worthless.

Been a print customer a long time. in the past 8 months I am doing good to get speeds in the 300kbps range. Most of the time I average 100-200kbps.
During heavy traffic I can be as low as 50kbps. Can't even stream pandora or slacker due to buffering.

And its not a tower down. Sprint techs have investegated and all they can say is wait until network vision....

So after years on sprint. Looks like I might be moving to at&t (due to mobile to mobile).

Whats sad is that with the way sprint and st&t do company discounts. Getting 3gb data on 2 phones and 5 on mine (I average about 4 a month). AT&T will cost me about $5 more a month.

I am still hanging onto my unlimited with aT&T.. I admit its expensive as far as a 3 line account goes but we use our cellular more than our home phone. Plus. my at&t service has been really great over the last two years! Great call quality..and my data is not slow. I used to balk at the claim of "surfinig while talking" as "what good is that?"

Over the last year or so, I found myself "Surfing" while on conference calls or oher calls when i can "multitask"... Totally comes in handy.
