I have been an AT&T Customer or long time suffer since 2007. I got an LG phone back after the iPhone had been announced, but I didn’t give any attention to picking one up until December. At the time I used my phone primarily for calls and a few texts messages. I got good coverage and the plans always seem to fit my needs.

When I got my first iPhone, I got Unlimited data which at the time on Edge data speeds didn’t mean a lot but did provide me with a nice net not to worry about.

Last week sent me a dreaded message to inform me that I am in the top 5% of data users, and my data speed will throttled for the rest of the month.



I can admit I used 8.5 GB this month, which I agree with AT&T isn’t a small amount. Usually I use my phone to manage Geekdom Kingdom and write reviews for handheldhollywood.com, on the go since my job is usually nowhere near wifi. In short my iPhone is my vital line of communication and information for all my work, so anything that slows down my work is a problem.

If any other cell carrier offered unlimited data with decent cell reception around my area, I would jump ship, but alas their is none. All that I ask is that AT&T use the money I provide for service is redeemed for cell tower upgrades and wifi hotspots more readily available to alleviate network congestion on data.
