Default At&t news

Was just reading on a news site that as of OCT. 1st AT&T is going to start restricting connection speed on what it considers it's top 5 % users on their "UNLIMITED" plan and possibly other plan's as well.
AT&T stopped selling the "UNLIMITED" plan some time ago.
AT&T is claiming that users who stream video and play on-line games are slowing down the system.

IT SEEMS TO ME: that AT&T is running out of bandwidth or something and instead of putting up more towers / sites to carry the load they are taking the easy way out.
Wonder what's next, PAY PER BYTE ?

I am on my Son's plan with AT&T and the phone is almost useless here in S.W. Indiana in the summer (we live in the boonies) while the XYL's phone which is on VERIZON (daughters plan) and has coverage here and so far everywhere else she's used it, we have made many complaint's to AT&T about this with no satisfaction as yet.

Just thought Ya'll might find this bit of news interesting ( and maybe useful).

73, John
