Per AT&T website: $60.00 for 5Gb data plan. That breaks down to $12 per Gb. So , why are they charging $35.00 per 200 MB. So why are they charging $35.00 for 200 MB which would be just 0.2 GB? I think that the FCC should look into that. I have no problem paying $15.00 per Gb. And an additional $5.00 per half Mb. It would work out that if I use 1.25 Gb I would pay that month $20.00 = 15 for the first Gb and 5 for going almost to the halfway mark. I pass the half way mark then charge me $30.00. That would be reasonable and would keep me a loyal AT&T subscriber.
Of course that could increase subscribers on their network. A network that they haven't upgraded to deal with network usage. Look at their 3G map. Yes the cell network covers a very large area but not their 3G network. And the next generation network is being built by everyone but them. It's a shame that when Apple listens to their consumers and leaves AT&T there may just be a massive exodus of iPhone users. Are they prepared for that?
Most people don't mind paying for extra things but give them a good reason. Their messed up network and penalizing their users for it isn't a good reason.
