Att to throttle top 5% data consumers October.

Link http://www.noticeorange.com/StoryBo...RpY2VvcmFuZ2VyDQsSBFNpdGUY2pTyFww&font_size=9
Wow what will they do next?
Edit: UPDATE (another page found)
http://myona.com/2011/08/01/att-will-throttle-your-unlimited-data-plan/
by the looks of my data usage im guessing that i will be one of the few that gets throttled
anyone else?

I'd be all in favor of this under the following stipulations:
1. You don't go from full speed to EDGE in one shot. 25% increments or something.
2. You are given fair and ample warning at all stages and before each tier drop
3. They bring back the $30 unlimited plan

Well I'm in the 30 dollar unlimited plan.and I say no. I payed for it, and I should have it all not some of it.

Mines not as bad but its definietly getting worst, esp since I started to watch netflix heavily on my phone this month and very end of last month.

Wow! You sure have changed your mind on data, power users, and unlimited. Haha welcome to the dark side.
-Figured i needed a signature for my phone. This is it......

I think this is just AT&T wanting you to change data plans so they don't have to have unlimited stuff anymore. Just another way to gouge us with fees.

Yeah well at that rate I prolly will have to.I can't stand any slower speeds than I have now, and then they wanna make it slower...well good job att.guess you win again.I know that 30 unlimited is prolly overpriced...but then you say " hey I got unlimited so its worth it" not the case anymore.

This month is gonna be close (6 more days and at 1800MB). After that I'll loophole myself into unlimited and stop caring.

Where do you get those charts from?

Hell Yeah I love having my bandwidth throttled, yes!

I wouldn't mind a throttle if it was getting throttled faster.

I think they are doing this so we don't rape their LTE network when it's launched. Regardless it's still lame on att's part. It would also be nice if they at least gave us a ballpark of what the top 5 percent are consuming.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Ooops!

I think I read the ballpark is anything over an average of 5 gb
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

Used 5.7gb the first month I had unlimited, with 5 days left in this billing cycle, I'm up to 7.5gb! Netflixin a movie right now!

Is att unlimited or "unlimited"? My first att phone was an iPhone 2nd Gen. I got grandfathered into the unlimited plan when I got my captivate.
I was not worried about it before but now I have Netflix on the go. Its starting to guzzle bandwidth.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I don't think people really understand how big of a deal this is...
For someone that only has a 2 gb its prolly not, but to the people that pay good money. And have payed good money for a long time for unlimited, it just makes me mad at att.
I understand the whole thing. Just curious is this in the new contract that we signed.

It's just TMo, it is unlimited, just slow. But when it does come, we will find a work around just like the guys on TMo have done. I'm not too worried.

Rape that bandwidth whilst you can!

I really hope so. Of the 5% Im probably in the top 2%, so Ill be throttled within the first couple of weeks, every billing cycle.

[Q] Data usage

I know we get unlimited data(2GB), but is there a way to keep track of the usage? I didn't see anything on the phone or VM site.

I use this app called radioOpt ..it is a widget an it tells you how much data youve used with wifi and regular 3g..see in the pic it on the top.

We do get unlimited data. Just after 2.5GB in a month, VM will throttle your speed for the rest of the month.

Sad isn't it? My speed depends on the location. 600's in the city and 300's at home. Uploads seem to be faster every time, wish it was flipped.

Lol, I use a Thunderbolt, and my GF has a Triumph. Even when comparing 3G to 3G, My Thunderbolt is twice as fast as her Triumph. 4G on my T-bolt makes her Triumph feel like its running on 1x. I can't imagine how bad "throttling" VM 3G service would be.

At&t has something in this phone!

Hi it looks like At&t installed something in the phone that checks what you download on thair network. It doesn't let downloading torrent with adownloader. This **** is going back to At&t.

Even if that is the case, which I SERIOUSLY doubt, it will only be a short matter of time until we can remove/deter it.

I think he's right. At&t install that stupid Carrier IQ crap. My data has been on and off is like I can't visit certain web sites. Some load some don't. What's going on? BTW that carrier iq has been monitoring my network state so far nothing else. I will take a look at the service log soon.

And this is not on the OGSII?
How do you check?

Can Carrier IQ be removed with a DEV ROM?

I do agree with this.
Try going to www.justin.tv over 3G/H+ and see if it works for you guys. On mine, it doesn't.
Then if I try going to it over WiFi it works flawlessly.
Any ideas/tips to fix this?

What else AT&T want to do with our privacy or our rights to do whatever we want with our phones!!!???
It is true, mine have the same 400 error bad request at 4G but no on WiFi

yes there is a fix.
Add a NEW APN for the old HSPA+ ; the 'phone' apn
the new LTE's APN (pta) is restricted on the AT&T's end..
it has nothing to do with the phone

This is in my account. I had the personal smartphone unlimited when I got the Skyrocket they change it to this crap
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

that is the LTE Personal unlimited plan. The grandfathered.
tell me from the list of LTE plan you rather have?

i agree. I'm not too sure what the problem is but it seems to filter sites even when i'm tethering (i'm grandfathered).
The issue is fixed when i hop on MIT's vpn (which encrypts all connections).
Not happy about this

[HOW TO] reset AT&T data usage

so I figured this little trick out by accident actually. while it's pretty useful to know, I'd suggest not using it unless you really need to. basically don't abuse it or it'll get 'patched' (for lack of a better word).
STEP 1
have AT&T give you a new SIM card.
* going into any AT&T store and saying you're having signal issues will get you in and out the door with a new SIM in 5 minutes, free of charge.
STEP 2
you're all done.
* if you want to check to see that it worked, open your dialer, press *3282# (*DATA#) and hit call. in a free seconds you'll receive a free text message from AT&T updating you on your data usage. you'll see two lines, one of which will read (DEACTIVATED), and your data will be back at 0/3GB (*screenshot related)
anyways, try not to abuse this. it should really only be a last resort thing. so only use it if you really need it!

It's not tracked by SIM ID, it's tracked by IMEI, and Ph#, so something else reset your data.

As for the topic at hand, don't you think it's a little devious to have your data reset like that? In the long term its gonna create more bothersome questions for the rest of us down the road when we do have realm SIM issues

There is no "best" deal, but a popular one I know of and use is with T-Mobile, a non-contract $30 a month plan with unlimited data(first 5gb at 4g speed) unlimited texting and 100 talking minutes. I rooted my phone and can now tether without the fee and I use an app to make free phone calls. 5gb of data is a lot for phone usage, even if you tether it should last you a month. If you're looking for a home internet service though you should still order wifi because 4g speed isn't great on laptops.

i have sprint.. been with them almost 4 years.. i love them.. well service sucked for a while but now i get great 4g lte in my state so im happy.. i get unlimited talk.. text.. data.. and use wifi tether all the time with no issues.. i would hate to have a limit on data..
