at&t didn't steal anything. people who had unlimited data decided to move to a lower plan. you got told by customer service repeatedly if you were absolutely certain because there was no going back and they still decided to do it. i know because i had to take far too many of those types of calls.
what i do think is a bunch of crap is making special exceptions for only iphone users instead of anyone who has a smartphone. that's what really sucks.
Please help me understand what value AT&T provides customers other than scamming them from their cash? Every chance they get they implement a new charge or some horrible limitation, yet marketing talks about how "fast" their network is or how you can download videos (but quickly hit expensive tiers). Their network coverage continues to suck, clip new internet applications by forcing WiFi(huge violation of net neutrality) and billing paperwork requires a PHD to understand random charges. It's a pitiful representation of AT&T baby bells of yesteryear, filled with executive greed, zero employee loyalty and sad customer service.
It's too bad they were able secure a deal with Apple, their only crutch to stay relevant.
