AT&T 'Working On' Shared Data Plans
but does it rollover??

I use about 5GB a month and my wife uses 4GB. I really don't feel we use it most of the time either. I guess the guys using 400MB must be just getting emails or something.

For people who want to spend hours on end downloading music and video, that is exactly why carriers are starting to move to data caps or throttled data plans. Otherwise, the network will always be bogged down, no matter how fast the network is or claims to be. As consumers, we will never see anything close to the network speeds that are advertised. Carriers have started to realize tha...
