what exactly IS a good Data Plan?
we can continue to bash ATT for it's newly-revised Data Plans & Policies...imo, they deserve a bit of (ethical) bashing...or we can try to help them get it (technologically) right.
i'd like to see some feedback from ATT customers at all levels of experience and all levels of service.
personally, i always know what i want, but i don't always know what's doable...so experienced IT feedback is also imperative to reaching conclusion about what exactly IS a good & fair Data arrangement.
i used unlimited data on my messaging phone, and of course that was fine because i never came close to pushing the envelope of consumption.
but now i'm on a new smartphone plan with a 4GB Tethering plan...and i find the logistics and policies very one-sided, and it seems i'm not alone.
but, let's talk instead about what would be fair. if we can maintain an on-topic discussion about a solution that works for the customer, maybe someone who can make a difference will pay attention.
since i'm already here, i'll go first...
imo, based on my limited experience to date, ATT should quit concentrating on how to charge us for varying tiers of quantity and instead put together a Speed-Related Tier arrangement with fixed monthly fees. if you're an e-mailer and casual browser, buy the low speed...if you're a complete multimedia/gamer addict, then buy the best speed available. you'd be paying for the size of the pipeline, so quantity and tethering & hotspotting would no longer be factors.
is speed-related tiering technically doable?
