I just got online and checked my data usage on AT&T, and I used about 100 Gig this pay period...good thing i have unlimited after being transferred from Alltel
How much do you all use?
100gig WTF ARE YOU using that much data for .. BTW this is nothing more than a e-peenis stroking contest ... and will turn south REALLY fast
I use my phone for Wifi at home. and I didn't mean to create a thread doomed for disaster...let's hope it doesn't become that!?
and this ladies and gents is WHY phone carriers put caps on data ... don't try and defend it 100g is ****ing crazy simple crazy your phones data is not meant to POWER the whole freaking house's internets
alright??? maybe this thread should be locked... my bad.
1.8 gb, Im a normal user.

~0.75-1.5 GB.... never crossed 1.5 GB. Typical - 0.75 - 1.25 GB in any given month, including use of maps, etc. I don't stream music or videos, except maybe once in a while when totally bored.
And as far as using as WiFi at home, get a basic cable internet for like 20 or 30 a month. You'll atleast help people connected to your tower get better speeds.

lol well I tether to my laptop to watch Netflix in the back of my truck out and about, and i use Pandora quite a bit... 100gig is my biggest month ever, but i loved alltel and they gave me unlimited data no problem...so ATT had better honor that for what i pay, and i do plan on getting Wifi at home, however most of my data usage is movies on the go.
Let me guess: when you get busted using your 100 gigs tethered, the next thread will be "att is mean to me and it's not fair! "

My biggest month? 114mb. Seriously.
Which is why I've used GoPhone for the last year. Ten bucks a month.
That is, until AT&T just decided that in order to get data, I need to buy $25 worth of airtime I don't need. F*** AT&T.

I went into at&t today on my lunch break to try & talk them into putting me back on my unlimited data plan I once had when I had my iPhone. The last 2 months I've gone just over 2gb because of downloading roms from xda over data(when u gotta flash u gotta flash)
Anyways. He pulled up my data activity on his computer and as we were overlooking everything I had to hold back laughing out loud. It was hilarious seeing the size of roms I'm downloading and the at&t Rep saying "160mb! That is outrageous you must be downloading something!"
Also seeing the kernels I download, 6-7mb, on his screen.
IDk. I got a laugh. Thought I'd share
So did they let you get back on the unlimited data plan?
I was lucky enough to be able to keep my unlimited, for now anyway. Before they force me to pick a new data plan.
LOL....thats great. I tried and tried to get the unlimited data that I had on my bberry but was unsuccessful. I try to keep wifi connected for the big downloads, but sometimes you just have to get the latest ROM.
No I was not able to get my unlimited plan back. They said it isn't possible(probably bull****) but policy is policy.
this is hilarious man. thanks for sharing. I would probably have a similar experience since i am an avid flasher and mobile ap user. I still have unlimited though!! XD for now that is
Well, at least I don't feel quite so bad that they shot me down too for the unlimited package being added back on. I think it is that they just don't want to. I went as far as threatening to move all of my five lines to another carrier that has it. Maybe when I go to move the first one over, they may reconsider? Wishful thinking.
That sucks you can't get the unlimited data plan back. I've made damn sure they don't remove it on mine between all my updates from the iphone 3g.
Yeah its pretty lame, I had the unlimited for over 4 years and after changing my plan 3 months ago I can't go back.
I still have my unlim data. Once went 6g with my captivate.

Now, isn't that interesting.......I was told that they were allowing people that canceled within 90 days would be able to get it back because of Verizon offering it to lure away customers. Since you were right about 90 days, I think they are just being asses to their loyal customers. I changed mine about a year ago, but if they shafted you, that is really low. Maybe I should move all my lines.
Or maybe if enough people complain, they will reinstate it with some of the IPhone base unloading. (wishful thinking again I guess).
Any takers to call and complain? Threaten to move?
Are you telling me they can see what you've downloaded and not just the size of a download? That scares the hell out of me.

If you go to one of the new "4G" HSPA+ phones. You will lose your unlimited data. It will be replaced with a 4GB plan that is "specially provisioned" for the phone. I believe it is because these phones have the ability to be a wifi hotspot and att doesnt want your unlim data to be a hotspot. There is no way around it that i know of.
If you have had your TB for at least a week, what has your data usage been so far?

I use wifi at my house and when available. I guess the main reason I don't use much data is because I study, play video games, and watch a few tv shows/movies. With that much going on, I don't have any time to use massive amounts of data.
Honestly, I don't know how anyone uses 20+GiB. There just isn't enough time in the day unless you're taking time out of other things. Maybe tethering I could see... but if you're just using the phone?

How on earth, short of using wifi tether as your only internet service, do you use 30 gigs of data a month. I've seen a spike in my usage to just above 5 gigs for 2 weeks+ with the TB and < 2 weeks with the D2. But I have never come close to 10 gigs even during the holidays when I tether a crap ton, because most of the people I visit don't have wifi. I'm sorry, but it is people like you that are getting us all forced onto tiered plans eventually. And I consider myself a "power" user. I stream a lot of music, and use my phone a ton for nav. I just do see how you can use this much data.

Tether > xbox, netflix, hulu, etc. When this is faster than my DSL, why not enjoy it? Free tethering won't last forever. Plus ATT put their DSL into tiered plans as well.
550MB between my wife and I combined, having the TBolts since release day. We're on WiFi at home or it would be higher (up to double that). I would call us well over average volume users in regards to social apps and chat programs since it's our work.

so is there any way to get past throttling? i tether to my computer and run out of data in less then a day of a new billing cycle. (yes i run thru 5 gigs in less then a day! hahaha) so is there any way shape or form to get rid of this horrible throttling issue?!?!?!
Nope. Not anymore.

Real quick brother don't know if this will work for ya but I got throttled a few days ago and but chance was running speed test to see how slow it really had gotten and I managed to lose my data connection when it restablished I had my 4g speeds again.... I lost it again the next morning but attempted to recreate the event by running speed test and. Then cutting my data connection from the top bar and it worked give it a shot if you want and get back to me

I just cant stop, i feel like im walking on sunshineee.
haha for real though as of now i havent heard of a way to beat the throttle, its more provider side then phone side. I heard there is a plan that has the 5gb cap but never throttles, you have to ask for it specifically and its given to most long time customers (or people who threaten to cancel). Give it a search.
Okay so they are planning on slowing you down once you reach a certain limit they set with their biggest package 4GB I would guess its around that point, how are they going to trottle everyone's speed down to a crawl? Is it going to be like they trottled everyone's speed up in the past VIA software updates? Anyway just curious what you all think and hopefully there's away to not be stuck in a rut on this one, I do a lot of streaming, and multiplayer gaming on my phone...

I have the 30 dollar unlimited plan and i'm using 5-6GB a month and i seem to be fine. But i cant imagine what other people are using.

According to the post on ATT Website, they are putting it into effect on October 1st.
Secondaly, they are only capping the extreme few that are using CRAZY amounts of data, and taht number was WAY WAY above 4g data.
I spoke to a friend at ATT and he stated that currently the cap was at 10gigs. Now, that could change but who knows.
The data throttling is not being done VIA software and such but instead a change to your plan. All ATT phones are tracked via IMEI numbers and thus the way they know who has what number and what data/messaging packages. All they are doing is making a change to your plan that will only allow you to access the EDGE network.
I can see this possibly being bypassed but will have to wait till the change hits to see what can be done to bypass this.
What dept does your friend work in? Mine read about what's going on when and stuff but they didn't give him exact info like how or what the limit was. Edge don't even work when I try so that wouldnt be right because it takes 5 minutes to load a Facebook status.. anyway whatever happens I hope the limit is a bit higher then 10 sometimes I hit 16 and I don't do mobile hotspots, and i connect to WiFi at home. Let's hope for a work around if so!

No offense but its people like you is the reason why tethering has been such a huge issue. Tethering (if you are not paying for it) should only be used for necessity or minor things like checking your email, post a Facebook status message, or upload a photo, so that you are not abusing the feature and bogging down the network/tower you are connected to.

Top 5% users..... yeah right.
We all know how this is going to happened, you hit a certain cap, say about 10GB, then they throttle you to slower then EDGE speeds.
It's all their plan to ruin unlimited data for unlimited data users......
Hopefully though, the cap is high, or they ACTUALLY tell the truth for once and only throttle the top 5%, which I'm probably nowhere near (I use 3-4GB a month), so I really won't have to worry about it, but it sucks for people who use 10-15GB a month without tethering, you must not have wifi around where you normally are. :/

People have been getting nailed right and left, seemingly regardless of ROM. I don't think the update has anything to do with it, they're likely doing some packet inspection to determine what OS the packets are originating from.
when i called in regarding the nasty gram. she emphasized to update my phone. so im guess that is where it is coming from. id agree with you.
Yeah, looks like it was the update. It's weird that all of you got caught those,
I tethered a decent amount a few days ago(don't care if anyone knows, even you AT&T spies!) while my home internet was out, not a thing.
Guess we know not to use any new updates from AT&T until we find out how they detect us without tetheringmanager.apk..

Sent from my phone. :3
It's because you're using a stock ROM. I believe there's a service (though I can't for the life of me remember what it's called) that can detect if you're tethering or not. Custom ROMs remove the service so they can't tell.
Im on infused 2.2.3 and I tethered a little bit today and have not gotten anything yet, seems to working fine.

Yeah, I used that much the other week... I've been running CM7 so I'm pretty sure that AT&T is doing some packet sniffing to see the useragent of the packets coming through. I don't think it has to do with the OS you're running.
I got a nastygram saying to stop by September 30th or they'll charge me. So far this month I've use 18gb so I'm sucking as much as I can before they cut me off!!

Works for me and I just updated using the recent 14MB (I think) file the other day. and tethered for a few hours....so far so good anyway.
My wife who has a Streak just got her nasty gram yesterday, now she does tether ALOT, but her phone does not even show a disclaimer for the mobile hotspot like ours does. So, i dont think it has anything to do with the update.
I dont tether alot but I do tether and most months stay around 8-10gigs. (most of that is actually on my phone, I like Netflix)
She is pissed because out where we live we do not have any high speed internet options but we have AWESOME data speeds with ATT but none of the other carriers have anything close. we thought about getting one of those mifi hotspots but ATT only has a 5gig one and that is just a joke to to think 3 teens and 2 adults are going to make that work.

This month is the most data I've ever used, and that's 4.2GB right now.... I don't get how you suck up so much data.... maybe lots of videos..... you know..... lol.

actually i would be paying the same price i am not for an UNLIMITED data plan to go down to a 4gb plan that allows me to tether. But when I got my Unlimited Plan there was nothing said about not being alowed to tether my phone. to my PC actually the rep in the store showed me how to do it with my old tilt.
Lucky bastards... I'm stuck on 2GB, so tethering really isn't a viable replacement option for me.
That being said, I find it absolutely bullsh*t that you have to pay for a certain way to use your data. Why should AT&T give a damn how you use your data? I pay for 2GB, I should be able to use it, however the hell I want.
Got a letter in the mail today dying they're going to add tethering and I haven't done it in 4 months. The hell??????

You haven't gotten yourself unlimited? I had someone do it for me(don't know their XDA user), and I love it.
