Am starting to document the slow-down (time of day/night doesn't matter) for a possible small claims action also. It's really making it difficult to get research done in a timely manner.

Yep, that should do it. Don't forget to let them know you are following their order. appleannie1 Feb 2013 #2

My carrier, whose name begins with an 'S' has unlimited plans. stevenleser Feb 2013 #4

Are you saying you have Unlimited DATA? WinkyDink Feb 2013 #22

Correct. stevenleser Feb 2013 #25

do not leave ATT because now you take legal action against them TeamPooka Feb 2013 #6

Do you have any more information on that? cbayer Feb 2013 #9

Not to hijack, but I read the Consumerist a lot... reflection Feb 2013 #13

Thanks for that. We have Verizon, but the issues are the same. cbayer Feb 2013 #14

Verizon is doing it to us and we PAY for a 5 gigs/month WiFi hotspot. JimDandy Feb 2013 #19

Ours is mostly traffic dependent. While it slows down for everyone in the area cbayer Feb 2013 #29

That's good you at least get some relief when the traffic drops. n/t JimDandy Feb 2013 #32

Nice site-good info! Thanks. JimDandy Feb 2013 #33

No problem. There's a wealth of information there. reflection Feb 2013 #34

When you do find another carrier that offers true unlimited data, kentauros Feb 2013 #7

Good luck finding another unlimited plan. cbayer Feb 2013 #8

I don't necessarily need an unlimited plan... brooklynite Feb 2013 #15

Then I am curious as to why you are getting warnings. cbayer Feb 2013 #16

Twice I've gone over 2.5 gig, which seems to trigger the warning. brooklynite Feb 2013 #41

Luck is not needed. Think of the major cell carrier whose name begins with 'S' stevenleser Feb 2013 #39

There is no tower for that carrier in the area we generally live, so not an option. cbayer Feb 2013 #42

Wow, you should call them and tell them to put up a tower there!!! stevenleser Feb 2013 #43

Lol. We have att and verizon towers and a very small population. cbayer Feb 2013 #44

They send the same text to my wife and I. Arctic Dave Feb 2013 #11

Try Virgin Mobil, unlimited actually means unlimited with them and it's a lot cheaper sabrina 1 Feb 2013 #17
