I've had this argument with many people. AT&T is lying to all of us. They DO NOT have unlimited Internet service. AT&T is using the word "unlimited" very wrong. Googling "unlimited", here is the meaning (http://www.answers.com/topic/unlimited) "having no restrictions or controls." Therefore, AT&T should not be throttling anyone with unlimited Internet service. AT&T throttles everyone. It doesn't matter if you have tiered service or unlimited. With tiered service, when you get close to the top gigs your paying for, you get throttled. What I'd like to see, is a non-threatening email from AT&T letting their customers know when they are close to using up their allotted gigs they're paying for. I want to be able to use up all I'm paying for w/o being throttled. I'm paying for it. Comcast/Xfinity does the same. It's VERY maddening. Talking to reps of either company gets you nowhere. I've tried. My hubby pays all the bills and calls the different companies when things are wrong. I had to call both AT&T and Comcast a time or two to talk throttling because he was so mad, he wouldn't have been pleasant.
Comcast goes one step further. Besides throttling, they periodically reset our modem when we're being throttled. We have a Comcast modem.
I've got AT&T for my cell service. It's great when it works. Throttling Internet on my iPhone sucks, as I'm grandfathered into their unlimited data plan.
