Hmmm....It seems some are taking advantage of "unlimited" data plans. 80+gb, C'mon folks. No wonder why we're headed to a tiered data plan structure. This will just make it happen sooner than later for all carriers.
I tether daily and don't go over 4gb. It almost seems like a badge of honor to see how much you can rack up. Aye,Yi,Yi !

If they did not want it to be unlimited they should not use the word UNLIMITED. Ya I know in the fine print they say 5GB's but than that defeats the whole purpose of advertising it as Unlimited data.

F.Y.I unlimited is only for in phone data use and not tether. for phone as modem it is 5 gb/mo . the only reason some people reach 80gb/ month is due to tethering. I never abused this priviledge. Due to some individuals actions we all may loose this priviledge sooner or later

You are completely correct. they are defiantly abusing the system but someone streaming Media on there phone can easily hit 10 to 20GB's a month just using the phone. there is always going to be those that abuse the system. not saying its right at all but thats just kinda how it will always be. Personally I don't think I have every broken 3GB's in one month, I think the people that are not using crazy amounts of data are really going to be affected but that's just my personal thought on the matter.
