You should be grandfathered in. If they make you change, that's a legal change to your contract and you can leave without an early termination fee.
Tiered data is going to be the new thing, especially with 4G on the horizon, sad but true fact of life.
Actually, if you read any of the big tech blogs from the past few years, they say the opposite.
they all say things are all going toward unlimited and eventually we will have nothing but unlimited plans.
4G is much more sustainable, therefore I believe the future will hold true unlimited data.
If you think about it, tiered data goes against technological evolution.
EDIT: If they do cap us, I'll be screwed. My usage this month was 9.7GB, last was 7.6gb, and I wasn't even tethering. -- I have no idea how I suck so much data. (the 7.6gb was when I has my Eris, too!)
With the start of 4G bandwidth is much more limited due to less infaustructure. Companies will put these caps on, in the start, to stop "power users" hogging it and slowing it down for everyone. Verizon even had tiered data at the start of 3G and still uses it with mobile broadband cards. In the near future tiered data will be used, maybe in the bigger picture unlimited 4G will happen, at least from phones..
Why are phone data plans moving backwards? Shouldn't the trend be towards unlimited plans rather then away from them, you know like how internet plans worked
I use 3 times 2gb a month... you've got to be fricken kidding me.
