| The Real AT&T |
AT&T yesterday announced changes coming to their 3G data plans... These changes will affect everybody on the AT&T network including iPad and iPhone users. Below the new plans are to go into effect June 7th:
- Dataplus: 200MB per month for $15 ($15 extra charge if you exceed 200MB)
- Datapro: 2GB per month for $25 ($10 extra charge per gig overage)
AT&T was offering unlimited 3G plans for $30/month for iPad users, current customers will be grandfathered in, however any customer purchasing a 3G iPad after June 7th won't have that luxury.
AT&T claims that 98% of their existing customers should not exceed more then 2GB per month.
I seriously doubt that is the case for those iPad users with Netflix subscriptions whom stream video over 3G. It's pretty crappy of AT&T to make these changes especially considering how that Steve Jobs advertised unlimited 3G as a benefit for owning the iPad.
Jobs has yet to comment directly on AT&T making these changes, but something tells me he's not happy about it.
