At&t 3g

DH has AT&T and hasn't had any trouble. Still, if you're in a major urban area, they did just release the new iPads...

Oh right! Lots of folks with that cool new toy.

Side topic: I heard that ATT is ending it's unlimited data plans, even for existing customers. I dropped ATT a couple of years ago because of constant dropped calls, but this info might be useful for ATT users.

Not sure what phone you have, but my iphone 3GS gets slower and slower with each operating system upgrade. I know I need a new phone soon but I'm putting it off for the moment.

Not sure. I was on the land line side of things for umpteen years.

I think the unlimited plans are what's called "Grandfathered" for existing customers which means: if you have it you can keep it. Anything changes such as cancel, change your hair color ... you lose the plan and get to pick one of the "tiered" data plans.

Quite honestly many customers might (and none of this is policy or anything, just something I sensed, found, feel as a former employee) do as well or better with one of the "tiered" plans with no slow down, just keep an eye on the use than to stay with unlimited.

If you do things like download data from work, home, wifi hot spots when possible most don't even get near the limit.

But then I'm a Luddite with a "dumb phone" and iPod touch

DH has one of the unlimited plans that's grandfathered. Funny, now I am using more time than he is. And because of the family plan we have, I am not grandfathered (I didn't have data until this fall). I haven't noticed anything different with my phone.
OK, last week I noticed my I Phone 4S now has 4G instead of 3G. Weird? We didn't change anything.
