![]() T-Mobile still imposes thresholds of 50GB and 100GB before slowdowns on other plans. AdvertisementĪT&T is following in the footsteps of T-Mobile, which ended data slowdowns on its "Magenta Max" plan in February. There was no announced change for the other two plans, so Unlimited Extra users will continue to face potential slowdowns after 50GB each month, while Unlimited Starter users will continue to face potential slowdowns at any time regardless of usage. ![]() With yesterday's newly announced upgrade, customers on Unlimited Elite should never be prioritized behind other AT&T users, even if they go way past the soon-to-be-lifted 100GB threshold. Essentially, Unlimited Starter users get prioritized behind everyone else when they're connecting in congested network locations, even if they haven't used any data that month. Unlimited Starter simply carries the caveat that "AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy" regardless of how much data a customer has used. In a press release that says customers will soon be able to "stay in the fast lane with unlimited high-speed data," AT&T said that purchasers of the priciest plan "will now enjoy AT&T's high-speed data regardless of how much data they've used." AT&T said it will "start rolling out this enhancement this week and Elite customers everywhere will soon receive a text notifying them when the benefit has been added." While the change will be made with no extra fees for people who already buy the most expensive plan, other people will have to pay more to get onto the only plan with AT&T's new "fast lane" perk.Īs the change hasn't yet taken effect, AT&T's website still says that Unlimited Elite comes with "100GB of premium data" and that "after 100GB, AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy." The Unlimited Extra plan comes with 50GB of premium data, while Unlimited Starter doesn't guarantee any amount of premium data. None of those plans come with unlimited data of the high-speed variety, but that will change this week. ![]() The Unlimited Elite plan's advertised price is $85 per month for one line, while AT&T's "Unlimited Extra" plan is $75, and the "Unlimited Starter" plan is $65. AT&T will continue to sell two other "unlimited" plans that can be put into a slow lane.ĪT&T advertises three "unlimited" plans, each with different limits. On Monday, AT&T announced the end of data slowdowns for smartphone users who purchase "unlimited" data-but the perk is only for customers who buy AT&T's most expensive mobile plan.
