Get used to it! From what I understand it won't be long before most of the other companies do something similar. With society moving away from fixed home PC use, and towards mobile smartphone/PDA use in the cloud, we will all continue to use more and more bandwidth.
Personally I am glad they are doing this. I use the sh*t out of my 3GS and I have never gotten over 1gb in a month. Most months I am around 600mb. My wife never uses more than 30mb because she always uses her phone at home on wi-fi. So this new deal from AT&T will actually save us about $200 a year. Who here consistently uses 2gb+ per month?! I mean that is a lot of prOn!!
Everybody bitches that AT&T's networks are plugged up with iPhone users, so they take steps to reign in the most egregious offenders (about 2% of users) and everybody has a meltdown. When Verizon does the same thing in a month or two what are you guys going to do then? Move to T-Mobile?! Bottom line, if you want to dine at the all you can eat buffet, be prepared to pay for it! I don't want to subsidize the douchebag living in his momma's basement downloading 10gb a month.
