Now, AT&amp;T is switching things up again-giving customers more megabytes per dollar, but charging more money in the process."</em></p><p><img height="285" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1299211621.usr105634.jpg" width="600" /></p><p>Call me paranoid, but whenever I see this stuff happening I instantly get a feeling like I'll be getting screwed over if I change, but that I'll miss something if I don't. So this article does a pretty good job of explaining just what the changes are and how you will benefit, or not benefit from switching. Worth the read if you are thinking of changing, but as is always the case with these situations, once you switch you cannot go back to your old plan. For me, makes sense to keep my 4GB with tethering plan, for you it might make sense to get something else. Just make sure you read and understand them before switching. What are your thoughts? Do any of the new plans make sense for you?&nbsp;</p>

I wonder how much longer those of us who are grandfathered into their unlimited data plans will be able to keep them. Even though I don't actually use more than 2GB of data each month, I have a death-grip on my plan. I suspect once the iPhone 5 with some version of 4G arrives, they've force me to a capped commitment.
