I haven't yet, but have you looked into what workarounds are out there?

Workarounds? Are you talking Aussie slang now?

I came up with it on my last job. I told 'em I didn't want to workaround them anymore.

Its funny this came up. I just recently had my data service slowed down by the geniuses at T-Mobile because I apparently am using too much data. Yet I pay for an Unlimited Data Plan that I've had for the last 2-3 years. There is a 5GB max usage for this so called "unlimited plan" I've been paying for. So I called and asked about my plan being "unlimited" and they told me it is "unlimited", up to 5GB. WTF you idiots, thats not unlimited then. What data plans are some of you using? Thinking of changing carriers. I know this is their excuse to get me to pay more for a new Unlimited (10GB max usage) plan but I'm not having it. I think its a crock of ****.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just a little annoyed with BIG CORPS screwing us and getting away with it.

From what I've read most carriers put a limit on the unlimited plans.

So what part of the word "unlimited" means theres a "limit"?

Its BS, Unlimited plans early on were just that, UNLIMITED. Now with the rampant use of smart phones and data, the companies want to do away with them and put a LIMIT to your unlimited plan. When I upgraded my G1 to the G2 the clowns at T-Mobile tried everything they could to get me to switch my data plan. I wasn't falling for it, but now they are just forcing you to switch by slowing down your phone service. Its like I went from Wi-Fi back to dial-up. I will try connecting my phone to outside Wi-Fi sources and see if that does the trick.
