How about any of you that did switch, did you get an email from AT&amp;T offering you the unlimited plan? If that came with tethering I might pay the $20.00 USD but not on a limited plan.&nbsp;</p>

Same logic here...I kept my unlimited data plan with AT&T simply so I can tether my PC anywhere. It only takes one trip through an airport to realize how much that can save you.

I think another trend at play here is the realization among providers that high-speed streaming is what people want, and doing that on a 10GB/month plan just won't cut it.
