FCC Plans $100 Million Fine Against AT&T Over 'Unlimited' Data Plans - NBC News

The Federal Communications Commission said Wednesday it plans to fine AT&T, the nation's second-largest wireless carrier, $100 million for misleading customers about "unlimited" data plans. The commission said an investigation revealed that AT&T severely slowed down, or "throttled," the data speeds for customers with such plans without telling them.

I still have the original unlimited plan from AT&T when we first signed up back in 2009. Every time we've gone to upgrade our phones, the rep always tries to pitch dumping the plan and move to their "new" unlimited or tiered rate plans.
