cant wait to get that check :win:

i was on it for 7 years....everytime i make changes to my phones/plans, nikkas ask why....i peep shyt way in advance. when iphone 5 dropped i paid full price for it. nikkas was like :why: :damn:

$750-300 trade in for my 4S= $450. $50 more than the contract price for the 5 i bought, unltd data, and no contract.

then i heard about throttling. and got rid of unltd. why? because my phone bill got cut in half and i barely used the data. Now these days you have throttling, data caps, renting phones, while im just out here owning my phones outright and paying $50 phone bills.

ya'll nikkas :ufdup:

whenever i get my 6 plus thats gonna be 500-200...so $300 for a 6 plus, 128gb, and then $55 for 10gigs of data. :laugh:

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission today announced it is suing AT&T. The commission is charging the carrier for allegedly misleading millions of its smartphone customers by changing the terms while customers were still under contract for "unlimited" data plans that were, well, limited. "AT&T promised its customers 'unlimited' data, and in many instances, it has failed to deliver on that promise," FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez said in a statement. "The issue here is simple: 'unlimited' means unlimited."

NULL
well it's never gonna be "unlimited" because it is limited by the data rate. it's kind of tricky wording when they're not cutting you off, but rather just slowing you down

They are limiting your speed intentionally. Can't call that unlimited.

I use around 5-6gb in a cycle and they stay throttling. I notice about a week or two before the end of a cycle
