Hey now, that's just being snotty. We have a right to use what we've purchased. You wouldn't condemn me for riding a bike I just bought would you?

AT&T would want to tell me that my bike is mine to use as much as I want since I paid them the money, just don't use it in these specific ways.

Obviously since T&C were signed then you should obey them. That doesn't stop it from being an infringement on my rights as a human being that has purchased a service.

DUH you have a right to use what you've purchased, but only within the guidelines laid out in the terms and conditions you agreed to when you signed up for service with your provider. None of your arguments hold up at all.

I'm not "hiding" behind the Ts and Cs, but the terms and conditions you agreed to are legally binding. So seriously, keep telling everyone AT&T is infringing on your rights to use your data how you want it but it's not going to make your statements any more correct than they are now.

The only thing I would have a problem with is the fact that the T&Cs just give ATT the right to change things as long as they tell you that they are changing it. Other than that, I think they have the right to charge what they want. There are alternatives for people who don't want to get charged that fee.

You're compairing a 1 time purchase (buying a bike) to a service plan. That's the error in your arguement.

A better example is that you also purchased a roadside assistance program for your bike. In the T&C of said program,...

Haha, I guess you're right. That's a much better example than any kind of "All-you-can-eat buffet" metaphor. I like it.

My problem is I would try to use it for my car, so I guess I'm just a troublemaker. 😁

So, are you ready for your $10/ month bluetooth plan? You only are allowed 10g per month of BT file transfer and tethering. But you do get 400 min of phone calls with the $10 plan. Oh, but it's an additional $20 for BT car features to be added. What about the new $10 wifi plan? No, not hotspot. Just a $10 charge per month to turn on that feature. What about the new microwave fee? There's now an additional fee to have the radios on in your phone. Add $10 please. SD data transfer fees? You bet! For only 4.99 a month you can...
