Yeah say that to someone who uses a gig or more of data, and tell that o them when their price changes to a higher rate because of the tired plans...
The first time they receive a bill after downloading a movie for their child...they will surely miss the unlimited.
not everyone does it all the time, but having the unlimited data is a piece if mind for me.
Data usage is only going up. While this looks like a non-issue now, it won't be as Americans become more sophisticated in their use of smartphones.
I'm glad the ATT-Tmo merger wasn't approvied. Even with 4 carriers, there isn't enough competition to drive down pricing for all consumers. It makes me wonder if there is any collusion going on.
