Starting Oct 1? Huh? I already get throttled on my unlimited plan right at around 3-4gb's.
I wish they would say what the specific point at which throttling would start at. I have a feeling it's going to be something close to 2 or 3 gb's to make people drop the plan. Anyways, do you think this will require them to send out a new contract cancelation memo in the mail?
