I thought they were suppose to lower their plans rates.

Good.
I'm sick of people whining about paying a "4G fee".

Fantastic... this is horrible news. I have 8 people on my plan. I guess no one is upgrading (except me because I already did ).

H20 does pre-paid $60/month unlimited text talk web
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Well I had ATT and I left because of the lack of android phones. I went to sprint and found I had no signal at my house. So I used the prl hack do I could run on Verizon towers at sprints price and their phones. Just my 2 pennies. Plus you get real 4G.

Yes I get 3g, hspa+ speeds with no issues. In Seattle I get average download speeds arnd 2MBps since att network is not great where I stay. But I have hit around 5Mbps in Chicago airport while traveling.
If you want there is a thread in sgs2 forums about people's experience on media net plans and their speeds. For me I didn't see any speed difference between the media net plan and the att 4g plan speeds. So i'm happily using the one which costs less and get unlimited data in the process

I don't think they will...may be monitor and stay below 5 GB just to be safe .... I mostly use wifi at home and work so don't use that much data.

Just found this thread. It's helpful in my search.
FWIW, I USB tethered my Nokia 6700 Classic (which I didn't even know was capable of HSDPA until it launched). Signal used to be really good for it, but it started dropping like crazy. Thought it was the device, so I replaced it with another... same signal issues.
Anyway, I think I'm the reason why the signal is all crappy. In April, 2011, I did 800GB of data on my $20 Media Max unlimited data plan. AT&T never caught me. Until that month, I was doing between 10GB and 30GB each month.
Now, I'm looking for an affordable smartphone that is very much NON-AT&T so that I can continue to bend the rules and keep getting high speed internet.

AT&T LTE Ratelimiting for unlimited users?

all:
a few days ago I received the infamous 5% email. I am currently sitting at 4.9GB of data usage on the unlimited LTE grandfathered plan. when all of a sudden my up/down is now at 100k/100k almost symmetrical.
wanted to check with a panel of my peers. have any of you experienced this?

You may have better luck with this question in a forum for another LTE phone, or your own phone.
This Galaxy S II does not support LTE.
On my last bill I hit 5GB less than 10 days in, using a lot of Netflix. I managed to end the billing period with just over 8. My norm is 6-7. I have never been throttled, nor accused of tethering (which I don't use).
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
I can tell you that I'm at 26gigs for this month and I have gotten no notice from att. This is from downloading all podcasts. I'm only doing this for comparison...this obviously isn't typical usage. So now we can confirm the top 5% is a load of crap. Sounds more like they are throttling depending on what you do and not how much you do. There goes net neutrality.

I think the OP has a GSII ****rocket.
Anyways AT&T is known for throttling LTE users for low usage.
On HSPA+ on My note, I hit 11gigs and they threatened to throttle me on Day 28 of my billing cycle. I think they just throttle based on what speed you have. F***ers

Boost mobile ics

So you can get a boost evo design 4g $299 that the site says sells with ics already on it. For $55 a month shrinking bill and $10 extra for hotspot my only problem is boost network ain't all that great but it's all sprints network. I had a boost a long time ago not never for anything like a smart phone

Boost uses Sprint network without the benefit of any roaming agreements. Sprint network without the Verizon roaming agreement is horrible. The reason Sprint is rolling out lte is cuz wimax 4g is a failure. There is a reason the service is cheap. Contract and prepay is not comparing apples to apples. It's apples to tomatoes.

T-Mobile or Verizon?

I would just like to get some feedback from T-Mobile users if they like the service they get. I'm currently with Verizon and just hate it. My wife and I are still under contract for about another year or so and I'm thinking of just paying the early termination fee and switching. Now I now coverage will vary depending on where you live but just want an overall view on your experiences with T-Mobile. Thanks

T-moblie is better than veraizon
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Unless you make six figures a year and have money to burn, go with T-Mobile
I left Verizon for TMO about 6 months ago. I'm definitely not Dissatisfied but it's definitely not an easy adjustment from LTE to HSPA+... Outside of the data speeds, I haven't hit a dead spot or dropped a call yet. YMMV.

Well I had verizon and I left them for sprint and it was the best move I ever made.

Verizon reliability and speed are great. But their Bloatware sucks and you can't remove it completely.
Tmo is very reasonable if you live in city. In rural areas you'll have problems. Speed is decent and phones don't have all the security bloatware like Vzw.
If you travel for business use Vzw. If you rarely leave town then its personal choice really

Thanks everyone. I don't travel so I'm probably going to get T-Mobile. I like that its cheaper and they don't lock their phones down. The only decision left to make is should I wait or buy my way out? Guess I'll have to see how much it costs.
