Yowza! I download at least a gig per day on my iphone over 4G alone. That is highly lame. Good luck with that.
Why should low volumn users subsidize you!
It means we can’t really use youtube much. However, between midnight and 5:00 a.m. usage is unlimited and doesn’t apply to my usage. That is the time for which I’ve set the scheduler for utorrent.
We don’t really care much about internet video or movies so it doesn’t impact us that much. That said, we never used to hit our limit, but since my wife quit her job, we do every month. We get throttled usually with a few days left, but at that point youtube is shut off by the carrier. We know because once we’re throttled, videos in facebook work just fine, but youtube simply fails. It’s not slow. It just refuses to work at all.
I’m looking to replace the whole thing with 4g ATT hotspot and new phones. I’ve been using sucky T-Mobile service here since we moved here (I quit T-Mobile IT in Seattle to move here). They even shut off my phone number for data usage at the tower next to my house because I was using it too much. BASSTURDS! ;-)
But the ATT plan for the phones and 4G hotspot device is roughly the same price as our phones plus satellite and you get more gigs and a faster experience. Our contract runs out in a month or so...
What in the world are you doing on the phone?
