no,  johninjs--it'snot that simple.  You forgot the simple fact that AT&T sold these unlimited data plans and they are not honoring them.  It a tough argument to sell to say that the data towers are overwhelmed when AT&T is flooding the market begging people to buy even more 4G phones -for their internet use.  I heard the ads all day and night while I was holding for someone from customer service to pick up.  They also can't argue that 'throttling back' is an effective--or even legal-- solution when it amounts to nothing more than continuing to bill the unlimited user customer for service that AT&T has rendered completely worthless, i.e. AT&T is stealing. I urge folks in this situation to file FTC & BBB complaints.
