AT&T on Wednesday announced significant changes to the company's U.S. wireless data plans that will affect how much iPhone and iPad users pay for mobile Internet access. The company also provided new details about iPhone data tethering for customers in the U.S.
- Data Plus - 200 MB of data for $15/month. Additional 200MB for another $15.
- DataPro - 2GB of data for $25/month. Additional 1 GB of data for $10.
- Tethering - Additional $20/month for DataPro customers.

i use about 1.5 gigs of data/transfer so it looks as if my bill will be the same. are these billing breakdowns only if you opt in for tether?

Why is the service at AT&T so bad from what I hear? Is it too expensive to upgrade their coverage like Verizon?
- unexpected popularity of iphone overloads their infrastructure?M_C_P
- Actually, iphones are on the 'junk infrastructure' only till you complain enough do they move you over to the normal satellitesFredMcWoozy
- Sprint does the same thing.FredMcWoozy

I can't believe ATT is so freaking arrogant, and just because they are the only one that sell the iPhone! I'm starting to consider at other options!

Here in Portugal phone companies are obligated to mantain contract plans, even if it is not available for new costumers...
I guess the US is different, everyone can do the fuck they want and screw costumer rights.

Check out their facebook wall. The hate is flowing in.

Hold the phone -- this is a rate drop if i'm not mistaken. Yes, ATT does suck, but current Unlimited data is $30 -- and it will be dropping to $25 (for up to 2Gigs).
The new tethering service will be an additional opt-in cost. Search the web a bit and you can find tethering hacks for free.

I just called and asked about my plan, got it reduced by $30/mnth (for same plan) and credits for the last 2 months. Current bill went from $160 to $60.
Gotta say that while the coverage has issues here and there, that made me pretty happy.

Here is the bigger issue at hand here. Even if you don't have AT&T, it is likely to affect you. It is going to change the industry pricing of data service for all carriers. Typically, as one goes, so they all go. We already have capped service on cable through Comcast, others following suit. That one crappy airline that started charging for bags a few years back (Spirit?) and now that is the norm. . Hell, the same airline just announced that they are taking out seats that can be reclined, ahh, modern living is the future, no? These industries trend together and it won't stop anytime soon

Speaking of no service, is anyone having problems with their iPhone not being able to connect to WiFi networks?
Mine says I'm connected when you're under the setting but in the top menu bar I don't have the wireless fan, just the 3G icon.
