I agree with the deal is horrible, but you took it to the next level when you mentioned the Towers…How dare you !!! I know for sure you don’t live in NYC. I do, and it is something that you do not wish upon anyone.

On one hand, AT&T is encouraging users to consume more data. On the other, they’re complaining that there’s not enough spectrum for the demand.

That makes no sense. Imagine a drought that reduces a city’s water supplies. The smart thing wouldn’t be to offer cut rates to those who consume more, it’d be to charge more to make sure there’s enough water for everyone.

Or course, from Day One, almost nothing about cellular billing practices has made sense.

Four iphones is exactly the kind of scenario the plans were designed for. In my case, we also have two ipads.

Fuck AT&T. I wish their headquarters were located in one of the Trade Center buildings in 2001. Same with Comcast.
