Lol me too.

Lol still is a huge case for unlimited users though

Man i just gave up on Unlimited Data for the 5GB Plan since my folks get an Service discount of 24% it brings the Data Plan down to $38 which i can also Tether With it better knowing i can get 5GB instead of how much before i get throttled this month ect... Do you think i made a Bad Choice it sucks not having Unlimited Data it was nice to use how much i want to and not worry about it to be honest but being slowed down after 2GB is retarded.

Yeah your plan wont change if you upgrade, if you have unlimited than you will always have it unless you tell them to change your plan. But once you have them change your plan, i.e Data from unlimited to a peak plan than you can never go back to unlimited unless you switch to sprint.

[Q] Unlimited Data LTE on AT&T Site?

Can anyone sign into their AT&T who has unlimited data and tell me how it looks under manage features?
They're working on restoring my unlimited data, but now none of the boxes are checked... it looks like this.

If you have unlimited data on LTE..it won't show on your OLAM. Mines been like that for a couple months now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

ok so I'm not crazy. I can't get usage to show up in my att since I just changed it around, but I assume it would have the same 99999999.

Since they don't have unlimited plan anymore, this is no surprising. If you change anything you won't be able go back - that's the point.
That page has been like this for at least 6 month on my account (I'm still at unlimited)

Mines a little different... it says Unlimited Data for 4G LTE w/ visual voicemail.

In included features, it says this
LTE UNL SMT THRL $30.00
Any ideas? I've seen some say VVML or something similar, so I guess I don't have visual voice mail.

You have to use a lot of data for that... they used to give that message after about 4GB it seemed before they started the whole throttling thing... now its like I only see those notes and codes on accounts that have 6GB+ but it could be luck of the draw I suppose. I saw this guy with 30GB of data in one month and I was like really... guess he loved his Netflix.

I read that too... They started hitting everyone with $30 "upgrade fees" anytime you upgrade now too. Awful.

mmm guess im moving on when i upgrade

Would it be smart to buy a gnex now, save my upgrade on November to keep the unlimited plan?

That's exactly what they want you to do! They're making sure that they have the bandwidth to support the 4G iPhone when it hits the street.

I have acquired my last half dozen or so phones from Craigslist (even though I am eligible for an upgrade). I have not (yet) been charged for changing phones. I was able to get away from being 'throttled' this way when I got my Charge off CL for $125. Vzw even gave me a SIM card. I plan to continue this until they force me into some ridiculous fee/plan structure; at which time I will go to Sprint.

I hope ATT will get their LTE network up to par by the time my vzw's contract expires. Then it'll become an apple-to-apple comparison between the two of them, so, with no unlimited plan advantage, who cares anymore. I'll be jumping ship if I have to to get the coolest phone from whomever carries them.

Shammo? Jeez, even the guys name is "sham".

Looks like you can keep your unlimited plan so long as you do not use an upgrade.

The problem with these guys though is that they have craptastic phones with like no dev community... otherwise I would jump right at them

Hmm i think the real reason they are doing the whole data share thing is because ICS can stop data usage once you hit a certain amount so it foolproofs overage charges... until when you don't have a personal data limit anymore but a shared data limit

My theory is that they are getting ready for the influx of new LTE users that the rumored LTE iPhone is going to bring, because that is going to bring a ton of new LTE traffic in a very short period of time.

Upgrade now or wait?
I have 3 upgrades coming in the next 2 months. I want to use one for galaxy S3. I got a smokin deal right now for Galaxy Nexus. Don't know if I should wait or take nexus?
The reason why Im asking is it is my understanding they are planning to force us to shared data at upgrade... right. Should I upgrade all 3 or take just the nexus or sit and wait? What do you guys think

T-mobile unlimited data plans

Well tmo has decided to go back to unlimited plans at 30$ a month been out for almost a week just letting you guys know. Only catch is they don't allow you to tether but lets be honest who keeps their phone stock... Still get to tether with my custom rom!!!

I doubt it since they are a spin off of tmo... Tmo still offers regular plans along with this one. Plus simple mobile is already cheap like cricket or h2o so the only way they could make money is off data which IMO is completely fair...

The question you should be asking is why do I have a smartphone and not use it to its full extent.... With my phone I can do everything that I can do on a computer its just that its mobile and easier to do stuff on the fly. Tons of internet use and downloading sensations horribly huge roms.... Other phones rooms are usually Max 200mb with gapps not complaining but lots of internet use...

Yeah, maybe its since I use my home Wifi.

HSPA+ data speeds. WTF T-Mobile USA

I'm just going to post a bunch of screen shots of my data tests. All were outside in central Philadelphia from yesterday around the same time. There is just a ton of fluctuation in the speed and ping/lag times. Any ideas on what's causing the flux?
I'm running The CM7 nightly from 1/1/2013 with Mazout's Faux revival kernel.

To many variants on this, how far from the tower, how much interference there is, how many are using the network.
Also on your last pic you are on the edge aka 2G network not HSPA+

Looks like to me you were probably on the edge of HSPA+ network.

That always happen to me when i Travel to Different Cities.
At home i usually get 5 mb/s and in different city i get 40kb/s
and i did make sure i was on HSPA+ and my signal bar was full.

Exactly, I travel all up and down Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Washington D.C. for work and I think the Max I've ever gotten was 7mb per second.

lol wtf r u guys on? i get even 8/s ussually

well the fact that they were all taken within 100m of each other and outside and in Philadelphia, like I said, means most of the reasons don't make sense.
I did take a few with Edge, which were a lot slower, but often had less ping time. Thanks for the feedback. I find it hard to believe that the traffic flux within 3 minutes would cause a 500ms swing in lag times so I'm kind of thinking that it's really an issue with the hardware/ROM that gives me such fits.

I have the same problem around Salt Lake City, UT. My phone will show 4g service, with full bars, and yet my connection will constantly stall out or not work. Some days it works fine other days it's worthless, even though it says 4g. F'ing tmobile.

Are you usually located in NY NY like speed test says? Because when I was in NY near queens, I only got hspa+ speeds to. When ever I came back home (Texas) I'm on 4g networks now. And I'm on latest cyanogen mods stable for g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Its the G2x, not T-Mobile. When I had my G2x I would get max 7 down, higher ping, and same upload. But honestly, you don't really need much more on the G2x.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Accessing the network in Philly will lead to a lot of fluctuation, especially at 1:30 in the afternoon. A lot of people in the city use T-Mobile and peak hours suck here.
Also included in the issue is that while network is a major player, the speed at which the phone processes stuff hurts the speed. If your phone lagged up at any point during the test, you'll notice a huge fluctuation.
