[QUOTE="eliehass, post: 1061201, member: 33792"] [b]AT&T is changing its data plans (with tethering)[/b] AT&T is changing from a $30 unlimited data plan to a choice between $15 for 200 MB or $25 for 2 GB. If you go over on the 200 MB plan, you will be charged another $15 and get another 200 MB. If you go over on the 2 GB plan you will be charge $10 and get another 1 GB. Anyone currently on the $30 unlimited plan can choose to keep it. If you have the $25 dollar plan, AT&T will allow you to add tethering for an additional $20, but you are still limited to that same 2 GB of data. Just checked the data usage of my family plan. In the past year and a half I went over 200 MB 5 times, and my wife went over twice. Neither of us ever went over 2 GB. The highest I got to was 1.5 GB and then was when I was in the hospital for 3 days with no wifi and no tv, so I streamed a ton of video with slingbox. link [URL="http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2010/06/new-att-data-plans-milk-data-gluttons-lower-costs-for-most.ars"]here[/URL] With these numbers, I think it might be worth it for us to switch to the newer plans and save some money every month. I really don't understand why so many people are complaining about it (except for tethering. If you're paying extra for it, you should get more data for it) [/QUOTE]
