AT&T to Throttle Heaviest Data Hogs
So does this mean we can opt out of contract??
But it's not a change in service. Nowhere in your contract does it state that you can expect "____" data transfer speed.

I know in California if any changes are made to the existing contract you can terminate I helped a friend go through the proccess to cancel his TMO after they changed the tax rates

ummmmmm... nope
I can tell you from personal experience the old line "change of terms will get you out of your contract" simply does not work.
Besides that, the terms aren't changing. Any cell contract (and btw if yours are with at&t you can view them on your online acct) of any of the major carriers always carry this clause (or similar): carrier does not guarentee service in all areas at all times, does not guarentee data speeds.

If anything needs to regulated it truly is the matter of contracts and terms of service that wireless providers have to abide by. In any other reality this would be an obvious breach of contract. It's like paying for a ride on the bullet train and then getting thrown on the back of a donkey without being able to say anything about it.

IF WE INCREASE THE PRICE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES TO WHICH YOU SUBSCRIBE, BEYOND THE LIMITS SET FORTH IN YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUMMARY, OR IF WE MATERIALLY DECREASE THE GEOGRAPH

Well, they're not changing the rate plan or geography so I guess I'll just have to take it. Verizon will follow suit shortly, and Sprint isn't trustworthy. So...damn. :-\

Sprint cancelled my Unlimited service out from under me once before. Not keen on letting them try again.
