[Vision2020] Fwd: AT&T 3G data network?

[Donovan Arnold]

I don't know anything about Ipads. I am talking about phones. I just know it has been in the news and the reason I didn't switch from my current provider to them. Here is a piece on it, although it is about two months old, I am sure there are newer ones if your care to do the googling;

Donovan Arnold unsubstantially informs us:

"AT&T has placed a data cap on its users. If you go over it your 3G is virtually useless because they slow it down so much."

I have been an AT&T customer for more than ten years.  For the past two years I have been maintaining two sub-accounts, one for each of my and My spouse's iPads.  Each iPad sub-account possesses the AT&T 2-gigabyte package.  This means there is no charge for the first two gigabytes of data usage.  There is, however, a $10 charge for each gigabyte that exceeds the 2-gigabyte limit.

Prior to December 2011, I had never exceeded the 2-gigabyte limit.  However, as I have been away from home these past two months, I have exceeded the initial 2-GB limit each month.

I have not ever experienced a degeneration of communication or file uploads/downloads using 3G.  In fact, I am posting this email via 3G.

Mr. Arnold:  Care to substantiate your allegation or is it simply . . .


Seeya later, Moscow.
