AT&T Says It Won't Tier Smartphone Plans
Is it really that bad?
When I was working there as a manager my voice really didn't mean anything because I suggested they place 3g on every available att/cingular tower (can't do anything about t-mobiles). Because it is like 50+% cheaper to run on 3G so why was the build out so delayed. Oh well live and learn I know that when we sold phones that ...

AT&T should see the hell they are going to be in for. Folks will only take so much for a company before they leave and go somewhere else.
I agree, someone needs to have some vision. Dan Hesse came to Sprint and my days there as a rep improved astronomically. I guess we shall see...
It'll be very interesting to see what's going on with ATT, say this time next year. I say this time next year because by the end of 2010 Verizon is suppose to have LTE rolled out in 20-30 markets, it'll just be interesting to see what market shifts will be taking place this time next year.

But when the service is full bars damn watch out! It is blazing fast on my bb 9700.
The reasons they even brought up Tiered pricing is because some 3% of the users are using nearly half of the data traffic. They are simply looking for ways to make the network experience better for everyone. 97% of the customers are using unlimited data every day and are *not* using what is considered to be excessive bandwidth.
Probably half of the 3% don't realize they are using the amounts that they are.....eg surfing 3G while at starbucks or at home when all they have to do is turn on Wi-Fi and they would get much better speeds. FYI
